Interview Questions
Interview Questions
|Introduction |The interview forms which follow are specifically designed for the AFPA Partnerships in Injury Reduction Level II Audit Protocol – PIR II. |
| |The forms are designed to keep writing to a minimum. A separate form has been created for all of the different groups you will need to interview to gain required|
| |data (Worker, Supervisor, Management, Senior Management, Joint Health and Safety Committee, and Contractor). |
|Question Number |The question number on the left of each question refers to the section and question number in the audit protocol for which this question is being asked, and the |
| |area where the final scoring resulting from the responses to the question will be inserted. |
|Question & Comments |This is the basic question that needs to be asked and answered. Space exists for recording notable comments made by the interviewees. Keep in mind that these |
| |questions are intended to be ‘a starting point’ only. Cross reference the interview questions with the protocol (blue pages) questions – you may need to probe |
| |further to respond directly to the intent of the protocol question! |
|Response |This response section allows you to keep a tally as to whether the response from each interviewee was positive (+), negative (-) or non committal (n.c.). It is |
| |important to be as objective as possible when judging which answers fall into which categories, and to ensure that you do not prompt or telegraph the answer you |
| |are looking for. |
|Confidentiality |Remember that all interviews must be kept completely confidential. If interviewees have a suspicion that they may be connected to their responses, their answers |
| |will be less than candid. It is a good practice to keep these forms secure during the audit, and to destroy them as soon as the audit has been approved, |
| |following quality assurance review. |
|Interview Steps |Introduce yourself and explain the interview purpose and process to the interviewee. |
| |Briefly discuss the interviewee’s background to allow you to customize the questions to the individual’s role and experience. Make notes on key work related |
| |issues in the “Background Information” space. Ask the questions on the forms. Be prepared to reword them if necessary, but take care not to change the intent or|
| |to telegraph any bias. If the interviewee does not seem to understand (different from non-committal), be prepared to expand on the question, but once again, take|
| |care not to telegraph what you are looking for. Record key words and comments from the various answers in the space under the question. Remember, these words |
| |are designed as a memory aid until you can write your report. |
| |Place a tick mark under the “Response” column that best reflects the interviewee’s opinion. Remember that you will eventually have to count all of these ticks, |
| |so ensure they are legible and separated. |
| |Continue this way for all interviewees. One set of interview forms should be sufficient to record the interview responses for a complete audit. |
|Score |When all interviews are completed, it is your task to evaluate the collection of responses and determine if the score should be granted. In many cases, the audit|
| |instructions provide specific guidelines (such as 80% or 90% positive) in order to award the points. In other cases, there are a range of points which can be |
| |awarded. You will need to decide how many partial points should be awarded depending on the number and the quality of responses (i.e. percentage of positive |
| |indicators). Finally, there are questions where you will simply have to use your judgement in determining whether the responses meet the intent of the question. |
| |In some cases, the same question is asked of two or more groups. In most cases, it is important to remember to combine the responses for purposes of evaluation. |
|Background information: |
|What areas are you responsible for? How long have you worked here? How long have you been in this position? |
