    Description

    The SAFEPQ profiles the specific personality traits, attitudes and behavioural styles that have been empirically linked to safe working behaviour.

    The questionnaire consists of 4 scales relating directly to 4 key safety competencies and it has 13 sub-scales. It is ideal for use with any role where safe working is essential, for example where an individual's action can impact on their own safety, colleagues' safety or the safety of the public. The SAFEPQ consists of 115 questions.

    Here is an example of the type of statements you might find in a personality questionnaire:

    Expert Online Reports

    We have developed reports that can be generated online based on the SAFEPQ profile of a candidate. These reports can help you decide if your applicants have the right personality to work in a safety critical role and help you determine if they will be a safe pair of hands? The reports are:

    • SAFEPQ Assessor Safety Match Report (Rail Industry): This report provides you with a measure of how well suited your candidate is to training and working in a safety critical role in the rail industry.
    • SAFEPQ Assessor Safety Match Report (Train Driver): This report provides you with a measure of how likely your candidate is to be safe as a train driver.
    • SAFEPQ Assessor Interview Question Prompt Form: The system takes each applicant's SAFEPQ personality profile and generates bespoke questions for that applicant based on their SAFEPQ profile. You can then use these questions at interview. You can then grade the applicant's safe personality based on the interview results and their SAFEPQ profile.

    These reports were developed based on over 15 years of research undertaken by the Occupational Psychology Centre (OPC) exploring the link between scores on the SAFEPQ and subsequent training, job and safety performance.
