On the premise that there is a direct correlation between people's beliefs and their actions, a safety perception survey is based on this idea. In addition to providing a numerical representation of employee sentiment, a well-conducted survey will also highlight any discrepancies between staff and management viewpoints. Incorporating survey results into an action plan for suggested modifications, revising existing rules and procedures, enhancing present practices, and laying the groundwork for a future safety strategy are all possible outcomes. It is possible to combine the administration of surveys with in-person interviews with employees. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is the last line of defence against injuries, yet it is essential for many dangerous jobs. Providing and utilising personal protective equipment (PPE) is mandated by law and is also an internal necessity for many firms. Only the PPE Perception Survey can reveal the many reasons why workers do not use PPE. Poor design, quality, discomfort, impeding movement, insufficient protection, and many more causes contribute to the non-use of personal protective equipment. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
