Data Collection and Consolidation

The survey should ensure that questionnaire results are entered into the “data input” section of the spread
relevant scores from an employee into a single column. There are 100 columns allowing up to 100 questio
each job role/work area.

The data input section of the spreadsheet should be copied to ensure that there is one spreadsheet for ea
allow comparison between job roles, work areas etc.

Note that the only numbers that can be entered into a field are ‘minus 1’, ‘minus 2’, ‘plus 1’, or ‘plus 2’. The
ensure that no inaccurate data has been input into the spreadsheet.

This can be accessed by clicking on the chart section of the spreadsheet. The chart can be printed and us
perception survey.

Analysing the results

No manual calculation relating to the reliability of data is required, however for information purposes, the re
given by an employee is determined by comparing the answers given between four groupings of similar qu
17, 3 and 4, 8 and 18 and 6 and 30. If all of these questions are answered in such a way to conflict with ea
indicate a ‘nil reliability result’. In the same way, all questions which have been answered by ticking ‘all agr
statements should show a nil reliability score.

A result showing a reliability of 50% or less, is deemed to be an indicator that the results show a low reliab
indicator of a lack of interest or a poor attitude to safety, however these results should not be discounted a
part of the action plan for improvement.
The graph will give an overall percentage score, which indicates a figure from minus 100 to plus 100. If a r
