A-2 Survey to Measure Healthcare Personnel Perceptions of a Culture of SafetyThis sample survey will help healthcare organizations measure how their employees perceive safety. The questions are designed to provide a picture of the culture of safety as it generally applies to healthcare personnel safety and to assess safety culture from the perspective of sharps injury prevention Healthcare organizations that choose to administer this survey should feel free to adapt the form to their needs, including changing categories of occupational groups to more closely reflect those within an organization. The survey form is intended to protect the anonymity of responders. If the number of healthcare workers in one or more of the occupational groups included is small (e.g., phlebotomy team, IV team) then these groups should be removed from the form and combined with another occupational group (e.g., nursing staff, laboratory staff). Both an overall score and scores for individual items can be tallied, either by hand or computer. The overall score provides a general picture of the organization = s safety culture, and individual scores can be used to identify specific strengths and weaknesses in areas that influence the culture of safety. A form for summarizing responses is also included. Workbook Section Link for this Toolkit Product:A-2 Worksheet (78 KB/2 pages) / A-2 Worksheet (67 KB/2 pages) Organizational Steps Step 2.
