Accidents at work cause unnecessary stress and business expenses, and companies should make every effort to reduce them. some people tend to engage in unsafe behavior at work due to carelessness, recklessness, spite, and other reasons. Hogan’s safety Report helps alleviate some of these concerns by identifying risks that individuals possess that may lead to on-the-job accidents and other unsafe behaviors.

Hogan has studied unsafe work behavior since the 1970s. this research has identified six distinct themes underlying unsafe work behavior. Research also shows that unsafe behaviors can be assessed using psychometrically validated measures. The Safety Report is based on this research and has zero successful legal challenges to date. the assessment consists of 206 items and has an average completion time of 15 mintues. the assessment can be administered online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with reports being generated in seconds after completion.
