The Center for Construction Research and Training (CPWR) has developed a safety climate assessment and training tool to serve as a resource for safety professionals and managers within the construction industry, although the tool is a great resource for any industry. The tool includes a workbook that provides information on eight leading indicators that assess the maturity of a company’s safety climate and identifies ideas for improving each indicator.
