      Written Questionnaire

      In specified circumstances, CCSA can approve the use of written questionnaires in lieu of verbal interviews for COR Audits.  Before deciding to use written interview questionnaires as an alternative to verbal interviews for workers, employers and auditors should consider the following factors:

      • Does this method provide a better opportunity to gather feedback from workers than face-to-face interviews?
      • Will the workers participating have adequate reading and writing skills to complete the questionnaire?
      • Will the questionnaire respondents be able to write out a full answer, not just “yes” or “no?”

      Questionnaires can only be used for up to 50% of the worker interview sample and cannot be used to gather manager and supervisor interview data.  For more information and to apply please click the application button below.
