Overview
The TRG safety range includes The Psyfactors Situational Safety Awareness
Test (SSA®) and The Psyfactors Behavioural Safety Test (BST®). These are valid, reliable,
psychologically based assessments to help select employees who are
considerably less likely to have a safety incident. They assess an applicant's level of situational
safety awareness. These tools are particularly important where workplace
hazards are a concern.
The Psyfactors Situational Safety Awareness (SSA®) identifies an
individual's safety competency in terms of their ability to see,
understand and project the risks around them. The comprehensive competency
based Situational Safety Awareness test and its abbreviated counterpart,
the Behavioural Safety Test (BST®) test, measure job safety
readiness in major hazard facilities. The tests are legally defensible and
provide a practical defence to Australian OHS Act requirements.
Select this test if safety is the absolute concern in a hazardous or
dangerous environment.
Business results
Take a look at some of the overwhelming
statistics from a recent study using a sample of 808 Heavy Industrial and
Mining employees:
-
New recruits who scored at or greater than
60 on The SSA® were seven times less likely to have
incidents than employees who had not been screened at recruitment
-
1.5% of tested recruits accounted for 9.25%
of incidents compared to 10.3% of untested recruits who accounted for
90.7% of total incidents resulting in a ratio of 1:6.9 in favour of
tested recruits
It is now accepted that up to 80% of incidents are due to human error.
The following industries have reported the "Percent of all failures
attributed to human error " *
- Jet transport: 65-85%
- Air traffic control: 90%
- Maritime vessels: 80-85%
- Chemical industry: 80-90%
- Nuclear power plants (US): 70%
- Road transportation: 85%
- Manufacturing: 85%
