Evidence & governance
RISURIX is built and operated by Safetysure™, a workplace health and safety consulting firm with over thirty years of experience across high-consequence work environments. This page describes the evidentiary basis, the governance framework, and the obligations we meet.
01 · Provenance
Safetysure has operated across high-consequence Australian work environments since 1994, with field experience spanning mobile plant, heavy industry, construction, resources, ports, manufacturing, recycling, and hazardous-environment entry. The firm holds triple ISO accreditation under the 9001, 14001, and 45001 management system standards.
RISURIX was developed inside Safetysure's consulting practice in response to a recurring pattern - the behavioural precursors to serious incidents are visible in candidates before hire, but no commercial instrument existed to make them measurable.
This is not a repurposed personality test. The five dimensions were selected specifically for their predictive validity in physical-work-environment safety outcomes.
02 · Validation
We are direct about the current state of validation. Claims that cannot yet be supported empirically are not made. A criterion validation study is in preparation.
Established
The five dimensions and fifty-five items were developed through expert review against the empirical literature. Each item has a documented theoretical basis and was reviewed by Safetysure's principal consultants against the construct it measures.
Established
The instrument has been reviewed for face validity - whether items appear, on inspection, to measure what they claim to measure - by WHS practitioners across the target work types.
In progress
Factor analysis and internal consistency reliability testing will be completed during the pilot phase with an initial sample of at least 300 candidates. Cronbach's alpha targets: above 0.70 per dimension.
Planned
A criterion validation study is in preparation with a pilot client in a high-consequence operating environment. The study will correlate RISURIX scores with operational safety outcomes - near-miss reports, behavioural observations, supervisor ratings, and injury data - over a minimum twelve-month follow-up period.
03 · Usage governance
No psychometric instrument should be used as the sole basis for an employment decision. RISURIX is designed to be one input into a structured selection process - alongside skills assessment, reference checks, and interview.
04 · Data & privacy
All candidate response data is stored on infrastructure located within Australia - Supabase's ap-southeast-2 (Sydney) region. No candidate personal data is transferred outside Australia at any point during processing.
Candidates provide informed consent before any items are presented. Consent is recorded with a server-side timestamp, IP address, and a hash of the exact consent text version displayed. Consent records are retained indefinitely as evidence of lawful collection.
Submitted candidate responses and generated reports are retained for seven years, in line with Australian Privacy Principle 11 and employment record-keeping requirements. Partial, unsubmitted responses are purged nightly after token expiry.
Candidates may request a copy of their report under APP 12. Candidates may request correction of personal information under APP 13. Requests are actioned within thirty days.
05 · Commercial terms
We are direct about the state of validation, the governance framework, and the obligations we accept. If you have a specific question - from compliance, procurement, or psychology - we welcome it.
