FSI Readiness Self-Assessment

Ten executive questions that reveal whether your prevention system is managing material exposure or reporting general activity.

Ten questions for leaders

Score each question 0 for no evidence, 1 for partial evidence and 2 for consistent field evidence.

  • Can leaders name the current highest-energy exposures?
  • Are critical controls defined with clear performance requirements?
  • Is verification based on field evidence rather than paperwork alone?
  • Can workers explain when to stop and who will support them?
  • Are failed controls escalated at the speed of the risk?
  • Do investigations examine control and organizational conditions?
  • Are contractor exposures visible in the same risk picture?
  • Are leading indicators connected to decisions and actions?
  • Does the system detect behavioral drift before an event?
  • Can the executive team explain what changed this month?

Interpret the score

A low score signals immediate gaps. A high score still needs field validation. Use the result to choose where independent assurance will add the greatest value.

Would an independent review help?
