The PEQ5.1™ Personality - Safety Report

The PEQ5.1™ Personality - Safety Report was developed specifically to support the assessment and selection of personnel in environments where safety is paramount and risks are imminent.

It is used to assess candidates and employees in a variety of sectors including shipping, construction and oil companies, industrial plants, security, etc.

The PEQ5.1™ Personality - Safety Report identifies 12 safety indicators

The validity of the results is supported by 6 honesty indicators.

From the examinee's scores on all the individual safety indicators, an overall score (average) is calculated, which is reflected as the person's Overall Safety Index .

Based on the
Personality Evaluation Questionnaire™ 5.1 (PEQ5.1™), the
PEQ5.1™ Personality Evaluation Questionnaire™ 5.1™
was developed to identify behaviors and
attitudes of examinees that may compromise
workplace safety. 

Both historically and from the research literature, unsafe behaviours are associated with accidents in the workplace (accident proneness), as well as other undesirable situations, making the need for valid and timely intervention essential for the proper and smooth functioning of the processes involved.

Training - Crew training in critical posts

Shipping is a complex and demanding industry that requires the crew to have a wide range of skills, both technical and soft skills. Critical positions in shipping, such as those of bridge officers, engineers and seafarers, require a particularly high level of education and training.

Importance of education and training:

  • Safety: education and training are essential to ensure the safety of shipping. Crews who are properly trained are less likely to make mistakes that could lead to accidents.
  • Effectiveness: Training and education can improve crew efficiency, leading to increased productivity and reduced costs.
  • Adjustment: The shipping industry is constantly changing, and the crew must be able to adapt to new technologies and regulations. Education and training can help the crew to stay informed and prepared for the changes.
  • Career: Education and training can help the crew to advance in their careers. Crew with a high level of skills are more likely to be promoted to senior positions.

Types of education and training:

There are different types of training and education that ISON Psychometrica can carry out. 

  • Training: Basic training provides the crew with the knowledge and skills needed to perform their duties safely and effectively.
  • Specialised training: Specialised training provides the crew with additional knowledge and skills that may be useful on a day-to-day basis.

Special Studies & Presentations

Using real data, ISON maps, validates and deciphers
variables related to the working environment of shipping companies, such as safety and engagement,
thus helping leaders optimize organizational outcomes.  

Through behavioural modelling techniques, ISON helps shipping companies identify the most suitable candidates for available roles,
and profile existing employees based on their propensity to exhibit risky behaviours.

At the request, ISON conducted a study, using as a sample the crew members of a large shipping company (hereinafter "Company X").

Examining a total of 2,000 seafarers - with data collected over a 12-month period - the purpose of the study was to investigate the twelve
safety indicators as predictors of overall seafarer safety within Company X.

Through the investigation of correlations and patterns between personality traits and safety scores, types of safety-related
behaviours among different worker profiles were generated using a person-centred approach.
