The Hilson Safety/Security Risk Inventory (HSRI) identifies individuals who may be prone to risk-taking and/or unsafe behavior patterns as well as those who tend to react impulsively in crisis or emergency situations. The HSRI was developed for use in assessing individuals who will be working in positions where personal and/or mechanical safety practices are required.

The HSRI is used for pre-offer screening in many states. However, in certain states, counties, and municipalities, this test may need to be administered as a conditional offer assessment. Please check the legal requirements in your area for confirmation.

“By using a data-driven process rather than gut instincts, we knew we could raise the quality of new hires and show results to senior executives, thereby demonstrating the value of HR to the organization.”
