Total Workplace Safety and Health (Total WSH)

The questionnaire covers the organisational structure of the company, health, safety and well-being (HSW) goals and other questions pertaining to HSW. It is best filled by the company Human Resource Personnel together with an employee who is familiar with safety and health matters of the company.

The questionnaire can give the management information on the current status of their company in terms of their management system of Occupational Health and Safety.

The data collected from WSHQ will give the Total WSH team a better idea of the company and form a baseline report of the company’s current status. A more relevant approach can be taken to assist the company in improving their safety, health and well-being.

The BHS is a detailed assessment tool that covers the general well-being of the individual, physical activities, diet and specific body aches and pains, if any. It allows the Total WSH team to have a better understanding of what is going on at the ground level and complements the WSHQ. Generally, a response rate of more than 80% is necessary for the findings to be generalised to the workplace surveyed.

The questionnaire can give the management information on the current status of their workers overall health and perception of work.

Both the BHS and WSHQ will give the Total WSH team a better understanding of the company in terms of their current stage of health, safety and well-being, medical leave data, individual general health and well-being status. With this information, the Total WSH team is able to craft out a personalized strategy towards building up the current strengths of the company in the area of health, safety and well-being and also provide opportunities for improvements in the gaps.

The Total WSH Assessment Tools are meant to provide a more holistic view of the state of safety and health at the workplace. Workplace visits should also be conducted regularly as part of the Risk Assessment for the workplace.
