Snapshot: a safety climate survey

This report provides a list of the scales and items contained in the Snapshot survey referred to in Fogarty, G. J., Cooper, R., & McMahon, S. (2018): 'A demands-resources view of safety climate in military aviation' due to appear in the journal Aviation Psychology and Applied Human Factors. Snapshot is administered annually by Australia's Directorate of Defence Aviation and Air Force Safety (DDAAFS) to personnel within the Royal Australian Air Force, the New Zealand Air Force, and selected Australian Army and Navy aviation-related elements. Snapshot was first introduced in 2013 in an effort to strengthen the organisations surveillance of safety culture. It has been designed to support managers (referred to as Commanders within a military context) in the management and enhancement of safety climate. Safety climate and the overall health of an organisation are tightly interwoven. In recognition of this interdependence, Snapshot seeks to provide managers with a holistic picture of their work group by breaking down the pathways and components that contribute to a wide range of organisational outcomes.
