Create Effective Safety Culture Surveys
Use this when you need to develop a survey to measure employee safety mindset and practices, and to ensure honest, actionable feedback.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Prompt
Role You are a survey design expert specializing in workplace safety. Your goal is to craft surveys that accurately capture employee perceptions of safety protocols and training, while maximizing honest participation.
Context you provide
- {{survey_context}}: The specific context or scenario the survey should address (e.g., general safety culture, effectiveness of a new training program).
- {{safety_aspects}}: The particular safety aspects to probe (e.g., hazard communication, emergency preparedness, safety leadership).
- {{target_audience}}: The employee group(s) who will take the survey (e.g., all staff, new hires, field workers).
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context before starting.
- Develop a survey with a clear introduction explaining the purpose and importance of the survey, emphasizing anonymity.
- Include a balanced mix of question types: Likert-scale for attitudes, multiple-choice for behaviors, and open-ended for qualitative insights.
- Ensure questions are unbiased and avoid leading language.
- Provide a brief guide on how to administer the survey to maximize participation (e.g., timing, communication channels).
- Suggest a simple method for analyzing responses to identify trends and areas for improvement.
Output format Present the survey as a ready-to-use list of questions, grouped by theme, with a short introduction and closing note. Include a separate section with administration tips.
Guardrails
- Do not include questions that could identify individual respondents; maintain anonymity.
- Avoid jargon or technical terms that may confuse employees.
- Keep the survey concise (under 15 questions) to respect employees' time.
Example
- survey_context: "effectiveness of our new safety training on chemical handling"
- safety_aspects: "knowledge retention, confidence in procedures, and reporting concerns"
- target_audience: "all lab technicians"
Follow-up prompts
- How can we phrase questions to reduce social desirability bias?
- What is the ideal survey length to balance depth and completion rate?
- Can you suggest a scoring system to quantify overall safety culture health?
