Following the completion of a baseline study to assess awareness and impact of the guidance among directors/board members , the HSE commissioned Databuild to conduct qualitative research to explore:

  • What directors/board members understand about the current legislative framework for health and safety.
  • What directors/board members mean when they say they have taken action in the areas covered in the baseline study.
  • Whether and how board level actions translate into action on the ‘shop floor’ and genuine improvements in health and safety.
  • The impact of board level behaviour change from the perspective of health and safety managers.
  • Whether there are opportunities to influence behaviour.

The principal aims of the baseline study were to determine:

  • The level of awareness of the guidance among its target market.
  • How directors and board members heard about and accessed the guidance.
  • The number of directors that have read the guidance.
  • Whether the guidance is considered relevant and influential.
  • Whether action has been taken (or planned) as a result of the guidance.

Similarly, the organisational arrangements that are sometimes associated with new entrants – such as the separation of ownership and operation – are not clearly less safe than more traditional arrangements. What seems to matter more is a deeper capacity to make chosen ways of organising work.
