Minnesota Safety Perception Survey

The most prominent survey at the time was the Minnesota Safety Perception Survey. This survey had been developed in the 1980s by a team that included safety professionals from the Association of American Railroads and scientists from the Army s Aberdeen Proving Ground. Dan Petersen served as a consultant to the team, which was led by Chuck Bailey (Bailey and Petersen 1989 Bailey 1997). Bailey s team designed and validated the Minnesota survey, which had subsequently been administered to over 100,000 anployees in a number of companies. Bailey s database included survey results from six chemical companies, giving us a good opportunity for benchmarking. Consequently, we chose that survey. Chuck Bailey made a presentation to our team to explain how the survey had been constructed and how it could be used as a tool for improvement. 

The survey was developed from the Minnesota Safety Perception Survey.
