Safety-sensitive roles

Add better evidence to high-consequence decisions.

Safety assessment should connect to the actual work, operating environment, training requirements, and decision being supported.

Operating limits

Add evidence to the safety decision. Keep management responsible.

Assessment can identify relevant attitudes, judgment, and work-style patterns. It cannot replace training, supervision, procedures, equipment, or a functioning safety system.

01

Role and risk context

Define the safety-critical behaviors and judgment demands of the role.

02

Relevant measures

Select scales connected to the position rather than using a generic battery.

03

Integrity review

Use appropriate safeguards and follow-up signals.

04

Multiple evidence sources

Combine assessment data with training, experience, observation, and other job-related evidence.
