Process Safety Management Leadership Questionnaire

Thank you for participating in this questionnaire. It should take approximately 10 -15 minutes to complete.

The purpose of this questionnaire is to gain a better understanding of the current state of Process Safety Management (PSM) across Canada, including how organizations define, integrate, sustain and measure process safety.

Your responses will help identify common practices, strengths, challenges and opportunities for improvement. The information gathered will be used to:
  • Inform the work of the Process Safety Community of Practice
  • Identify future areas of focus
  • Support development of resources and learning opportunities
  • Promote awareness and education on process safety
We are interested in learning from your organization's experience. There are no right or wrong answers, and responses should reflect your organization's current approach to PSM.

Responses will be kept confidential and aggregated to develop an industry report reflecting the current state of process safety.
