Step 4: Share Your Results

First, share your results with those affected by the change. The more you tell them about what you did and what you found, the more they will support your conclusions and your future efforts to evaluate safety and health changes in the workplace. A good way to start the feedback process is to hold work-group meetings to present the results. Don't worry about drawing conclusions from the results, just start with the basic findings. This approach will permit everyone to begin thinking about what the results suggest. You could also post the results in worker areas like break rooms, locker rooms, and cafeterias.

During the data analysis and results steps, be careful to maintain confidentiality. Breeches in confidentiality can affect your credibility. Do not report results in such a way that individual responses can be identified. This is especially important where there are workgroups of 3-6 people. In such circumstances, it may be necessary to report results for several workgroups, combined.
