SAFETY RISK AND WORKSTYLE PROFILES
Wondering how to make your workplace safer? Reduce on-the-job injuries and work stoppages? Increase productivity?
Safety Facts:
- Up to 90% of industrial accidents are due to human error
- Direct costs created by workplace injuries total $51.8 billion annually. This sum represents one quarter of each dollar of pretax corporate profits!
- Indirect costs may run as much as 20 times the direct costs of on-the-job accidents and illnesses
A crucial part of the safety puzzle has been missing...until now.

"I think talentClick Safety can set an entirely new standard in safety culture of an organization and in safety training and education. In effect it identifies the potential and deals with it, proactively, before an accident happens."-Bill Bullis, past CEO, British Columbia Automobile Association & Co-founder, Traffic Safety Foundation
"We were very impressed with the assessments. It is amazing how it seems to highlight the candidates' fit to our department."-Chief of Emergency Services, City of Red Deer, Alberta
To create the most comprehensive, thorough overall safety climate, a company should:
- Use the right traditional safety methods and training
- Hire people who are naturally safety conscious
But how can we predict a person's natural tendencies?
Solution:
While organizations may already have excellent training programs, research has demonstrated that they can significantly improve safety by improving employee selection:
- Screening out applicants who are at higher risk of engaging in unsafe behaviours
- Screening in applicants who are most likely to display safety-related work behaviours
How does it work? Our online assessment software measures behaviours, workstyles, and personality traits linked to human error. We then use help you to select workers who are:
- Compliant vs. Defiant
- Emotionally Stable vs. Highly Reactive
- Cautious vs. Reckless
- Vigilant vs. Distractible
- Trainable vs. Arrogant
