Occupational safety self-assessment for offices

Assess the current state of occupational safety and health at your workplace

By answering the questions, you’ll receive a brief assessment of the current state of occupational safety and health at your company via email. The assessment will help you identify which areas of occupational safety and health have already been addressed at your workplace and which areas may require a closer look at your current practices. Please note that this assessment is for guidance only and does not replace a formal assessment of the current state of affairs conducted by an expert. Completing the survey does not obligate you to anything. The survey examines, among other things, occupational safety and health cooperation, risk assessment, occupational health services, orientation, training, management, and workplace safety practices.
