Thank you to those who have already completed the Safety Culture Survey. Staff and guests who have not already done so are asked to share their experiences and opinions regarding the safety culture at Berkeley Lab, which will help identify strengths and prioritize areas for improvement. The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and answers will be completely anonymous. No one will see individual responses. As this is a perception survey, answer the questions to the best of your ability. Some questions ask that you "rank" your perception of organizational priorities. All of the questions in the survey are designed to gather important feedback on our collective views and opinions. As such, there are no right or wrong answers. The survey will close today. Go here to visit the Safety Culture Improvement webpage and take the survey.
