New employees will come to a workplace with a set of expectations, and some of these will relate to safety. Employees in the workplace will also hold attitudes and expectations about new employees and about organizational processes associated with the arrival of new employees. A new employee induction program can explain to new employees the nature of their expectations and how these are perhaps distorted, and can place them at risk. However, a far better way to deal with the safety risks associated with new employee expectations is to measure expectations and also acquire information from current incumbents and feed the information back to new employees. This way they can understand exactly how their views and their expectations compared to what job incumbents are saying. New employees also need to be informed about all the safety issues associated with the job they are entering and informed about the job s safety risk profile. While much of this information should be readily available, using a safety specific exit survey process may capture additional information which can either be used to correct the issue or used to alter the incoming employee to the issue.
