Cumulative Trauma Cultural Risk Survey

Assess Your Organization’s Cumulative Trauma Risk Culture

Reporting practices, supervisor engagement, employee communications, post-termination processes, and overall safety culture can all influence claim outcomes.

The CT Cultural Risk Survey is designed to help California employers assess the cultural and operational factors that may contribute to cumulative trauma claims.

Using the Bradley Curve framework, the assessment measures organizational maturity across six key domains, including ergonomics and work design, reporting culture, attorney-attraction and dispute factors, HR practices, supervisor effectiveness, and regional exposure considerations. This structured approach can help identify strengths, uncover potential risk drivers, and support conversations around continuous improvement and loss prevention strategies.

What You’ll Gain

• A structured assessment of cultural factors associated with cumulative trauma claim exposure
• Evaluation across six weighted risk domains, including ergonomics, reporting practices, supervisor involvement, and HR processes
• A Bradley Curve maturity score that benchmarks your organization’s current safety culture
• Insights that can help prioritize opportunities for improving workplace culture, employee engagement, and risk management practices

Upon completion of this survey, you will receive a weighted score that places you within one of four Bradley Curve stages: Reactive, Dependent, Independent, or Interdependent.

Complete the assessment to determine your organization’s current Bradley Curve stage and identify opportunities to strengthen prevention-focused practices.
