Warehouse Cobot Safety & Risk Perception Survey
Welcome to the Warehouse Cobot Safety Survey. This survey collects your feedback on working safely alongside collaborative robots (cobots). Your participation is voluntary, and you may stop at any time. There are no right or wrong answers — we want your honest experience. All responses are anonymous and will be reported only in aggregate to improve workplace safety. The survey takes approximately 11 minutes.

Message
Thank you for completing the survey! Your feedback will be used to improve cobot safety practices and training at your facility. All responses are anonymous and reported in aggregate.
What’s included
AI follow-ups
Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.
Attention checks
Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.
AI-drafted copy
Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.
Auto report
Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.
How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Includes cobot-specific exposure and concern items (unexpected movement, visibility at intersections, speed in shared zones, handover timing) rather than generic workplace safety questions
- Combines quantitative opinion-scale tracking of safety perception and confidence with an AI follow-up interview to probe the reasoning behind low scores or reported incidents
- Captures training adequacy, active safety features, and incident handling in the same flow so operations and safety teams can connect perception data to concrete program gaps
- Ends with a ranked prioritization question and open-text reflection, giving safety teams both a quantifiable priority list and qualitative context for action planning
Jotform
Workplace Safety and Concerns Form TemplateA general-purpose workplace safety and concerns form built on Jotform's drag-and-drop form builder. It's designed for broad workplace hazard reporting rather than cobot- or robotics-specific risk perception, so it would need significant customization to capture human-robot interaction dynamics. Useful as a generic incident/concern intake form, not a purpose-built safety perception survey.
What it does well
- Easy to customize with Jotform's widely-used drag-and-drop builder
- Likely supports file/photo uploads common to incident reporting forms
- Broad applicability across many workplace types, not tied to one industry
Where it falls short
- No cobot-specific content (proximity, speed, handover, visibility) out of the box
- Static question set with no adaptive AI follow-up to probe unsafe experiences further
- No published methodology for how questions were validated for safety-perception research
QuestionPro
Workplace Health and Safety QuestionnaireA general workplace health and safety questionnaire covering standard hazard, compliance, and wellbeing topics. It's a solid generic starting point for EHS teams but is not tailored to collaborative robot exposure, incident specifics, or robot-related training gaps. Best suited as a broad safety climate check rather than a cobot risk-perception tool.
What it does well
- Established survey platform with standard reporting/dashboard features
- Covers general health and safety compliance topics likely relevant to many industries
- Template-based approach speeds up initial survey setup
Where it falls short
- No cobot- or robotics-specific items (speed, shared zones, handovers) evident in the template
- Fixed-form format without adaptive follow-up interviews to explore individual incident narratives
- No transparent prompt/methodology disclosure for how questions probe safety perception
SurveySparrow
Free Workplace Safety Templates That Actually WorkThis page reads as a blog-style roundup of workplace safety templates rather than a single fielding-ready survey, so it functions more as a guide/gallery than a deployable instrument. Content likely spans generic workplace hazard and concern topics without cobot-specific detail. Teams would need to pick and heavily adapt a template rather than use it as-is for cobot risk assessment.
What it does well
- Conversational survey format may improve completion rates for frontline workers
- Offers multiple template options rather than a single rigid form
- Positioned as easy to launch quickly for general safety feedback
Where it falls short
- Presented as a general guide/collection, not a ready-made cobot safety instrument
- No cobot-specific risk items (proximity distance, handover timing, unexpected movement)
- No adaptive AI interview or automated per-response quality scoring to deepen incident understanding
