Industry Perception Survey

MSA designed a short safety perception survey as a tool for our member companies to measure and benchmark the current state of safety culture in their workplaces.  MSA invites you to complete this industry specific safety perception survey:  Industry Perception Survey

 

Perception survey results are recorded in confidence and all results are anonymous. An industry summarization report of survey results will be shared in December. 

 

If you are interested in having the safety culture of your organization measured using our safety perception survey, please contact MSA to start the process.
