Question bank

Near-miss reporting and speaking up survey questions

Question bank with nine workplace safety survey questions in two groups: near-miss reporting and speaking up about unsafe work.
Nine questions that show whether near-misses get reported and whether people feel safe to stop work

Nine survey questions for workplace safety teams, grouped into near-miss reporting and speaking up. They ask how easy reporting is, how many near-misses people saw and reported, what stops them, and whether they feel safe to stop unsafe work or raise a concern. Copy them into a safety climate survey, or run them in Koji as an interview that asks why when someone says reporting is hard.

Near-miss reporting

  2. In the past 3 months, how many near-misses or close calls have you personally witnessed or experienced?
  3. Of those near-misses, how many did you report?
  4. What prevents you or your coworkers from reporting near-misses?
  5. Describe a near-miss or unsafe condition you've observed recently. What happened, and was it addressed?

Speaking up

  2. If I raise a safety concern, I am confident I will not face negative consequences
