Staff assessment test with scoring
An internal assessment with scoring: five health-and-safety questions, results by department, a confidence self-rating and a training request.
Who it is for and when to run it
For HR, a health-and-safety lead or a line manager who needs to check staff knowledge quickly and get the results into one table. The sample covers fire safety and what to do when someone is injured, but the structure works for any topic: procedures, product knowledge, service standards.
Typical moments are after induction training, before someone works unsupervised, or once a year for everyone. Share the link in the team messenger or show a QR code at a morning briefing.
It is an internal tool, not a formal certification required by regulation. Use it to see who has forgotten what and who needs training.
What the template is made of
Every block in the order it sits in the builder. Branching decides which of them a given person actually sees.
- Staff assessment Text block
The opening screen: about 10 minutes, the result is in points, the manager will give the pass mark. People know the rules before starting.
- Full name Short answer
Full name is required: an assessment result without a name is useless.
- Job title Short answer
Job title helps when reviewing: a warehouse operative and a sales manager are held to different standards.
- Department Dropdown
Department as a dropdown: sales, production, warehouse, office. It gives you results by team.
- Which single emergency number, including the fire service, works from any mobile phone in Russia and the EU? Single choice
The emergency number from a mobile: 02, 03 or 112. One right answer, 1 point. A basic fact everyone should know.
- You notice smoke in the room. What do you do first? Single choice
First action on noticing smoke: raise the alarm and evacuate, not gather belongings or open windows. 1 point.
- A colleague is injured at work. What should you do? Tick all that apply Multiple choice
What to do when a colleague is injured: three correct options out of four (help, tell your manager, leave the scene as it is if safe), 2 points. Only the exact set counts.
- Is it OK to leave boxes by an emergency exit if it's only for a short while? Yes / No
Boxes by an emergency exit «for a short while»: the correct answer is no, 1 point. The wording catches the usual excuse.
- Who should you tell first about faulty equipment? Single choice
Who to tell about faulty equipment: your line manager. 1 point.
- I feel confident in my duties Likert scale
A confidence self-rating on an agreement scale. It is not scored, but next to the score it shows who over- or underestimates themselves.
- What training would help you? Long answer
What training would help: an open question that feeds the training plan.
- Consent to personal data processing Consent
Consent to processing name, role and results for the assessment. The test holds personal data, so the block is required.
How to adapt the template
-
Replace the safety questions with your own procedures. Mark the correct answer and points for each scored question in the quiz settings.
-
Rewrite the department list for your organisation. With more than ten teams a dropdown beats buttons.
-
If the pass mark is the same for everyone, put it on the first screen instead of «your manager will tell you».
-
For product knowledge, add short text questions with several accepted spellings, such as plan names or product codes.
-
If people take it on their phones during a shift, keep one question per screen, as in the template.
How to read the results
The maximum is 6 points across 5 questions; the self-rating and training request do not count. Each person sees their score at the end; you see all results in your account and can export them to CSV.
Split results by department. If many warehouse staff got the emergency-exit question wrong, run a briefing there.
Compare the score with the confidence rating. High confidence with a low score is riskier than an honest «not sure».
Group the training requests and match them with the questions that had the most mistakes, so the training plan rests on data rather than wishes.
Common mistakes
- Presenting an internal quiz as a formal regulated safety certification. It helps people prepare but does not replace the official procedure.
- Writing questions with obvious answers. A test everyone aces tells you nothing.
- Using results to punish without offering training. People start hunting for answers instead of learning.
- Forgetting the consent block: the test holds a named person’s results.
Questions about the «Staff assessment test with scoring» template
How do I run an employee knowledge test online?
Open the template, replace the questions with your own, set the correct answers and points, and publish a link in your team chat or a QR code. Staff take it on their phones; results with name and department collect in your account and export to CSV.
Can I set a pass mark?
The test counts points and shows each person their total. The pass or fail threshold is yours: write it on the first screen and check results against it in the export. The template’s maximum is 6 points.
Can I use this for health and safety training checks?
Yes, as an internal check and preparation tool: the sample covers fire safety and injuries at work. It does not replace a formal assessment that regulation may require, which follows its own procedure.
