What does SafetyWorthy measures?


Personality and cognitive factors such as awareness have proven to be the most effective factors in predicting workplace accidents. Many work safety tests have been based on factors which have since been revealed by research to be irrelevant in predicting work accidents, such as safety perceptions and workplace culture. However, Psych Press' SafetyWorthy® test is based on factors shown by research to directly predict workplace accidents.

By utilising personality and cognitive factors as predictors, the Work Safety test is a step forward in the assessment of employees' likelihood of experiencing accidents in the workplace.
