CCOHS Program Evaluation and Performance Measurement Study, 2005
This study included four surveys during July 4 to July 19, 2005 as follows:
a) Product customers – Invitations were sent via e-mail to 1,299 customers from CCOHS existing client database. There were 262 responses or 20% response rate. This survey focused on clients who paid for products or services offered by CCOHS.
b) Inquiries clients – Invitations were sent via e-mail to 1,196 clients who recently used the service. There was a response rate of 20% (factoring in non-deliverable e-mails). This survey focused on users of the free public information service.
Two e-mail reminders were sent. A response rate of 20% is typical for this type of survey.
c) Web-site survey response of 513 for this self-selecting sample. This survey focused on users of CCOHS' website and was positioned on the home page and OSH Answers homepage, individual pages of OSH Answers and Web Information Services home page.
d) Key Informant interviews (20) representing a range of CCOHS stakeholders, including business, labour, government and non-governmental organizations.
Customer Satisfaction Research Report 2004
This study included two surveys:
a) Customer (Client) Survey: An invitation was mailed to current clients and customers to invite them to participate in an online survey from February 19 to March 26, 2004. There were 3,736 surveys mailed to users of the Inquiries Service and products. The survey was completed by 549 respondents for a response rate of 15%, which was less than anticipated. This is likely due to the mixed mode of mailed invitations with an on-line completion requirement.
b) Web Visitor Survey: The survey was posted on the CCOHS web site from February 13 to March 9, 2004. There were 603 visitors from this self-selecting sample. The target population was any user of CCOHS' website.
