I was talking to a senior safety manager at one of the big transport groups yesterday. She said they're starting a project to risk assess people's attitudes and personality types alongside the more traditional activity-based assessments.
They want to find out, and control for, some people's increased willingness to run red lights.
She says it'll be a long project and will only pay off over a couple of years if at all, but it fits with their competency based approach to recruiting people with the right aptitudes for any job.
I'm hoping we'll get a chance to cover it in HSW when it's a bit further advanced. In the meantime I'd be interested if anyone has examples of other organisations who've tried this kind of approach.
