OBJECTIVE: To assess the reliability and degree of completion of items on working conditions in the Working Conditions, Employment Conditions and Health in Latin America and the Caribbean (CTESLAC by its Spanish acronym) survey questionnaire. METHODS: In 2017, we conducted 500 household-based interviews in Peru using the Survey on Working Conditions, Safety and Health CTESLAC Questionnaire. We calculated: 1) percentage of respondents indicating "Do not know"/"No answer"; 2) percentage of unanswered items; 3) variance of these items; 4) percentages for each of the response categories; and we generated 5) an item-item correlation matrix for each dimension; and 6) an item-dimension correlation matrix. RESULTS: We observed a high level of completion (<1% of missing items and "do not know"/"do not answer" responses) for items related to safety, hygiene and ergonomics. In regards to psychosocial items, three items had between 4% and 6% non-response, and between 2% and 5% for "do not know"/"do not answer"r responses. All items exhibited moderate to high correlations with other items in the corresponding dimension. However, some items related to the psychosocial work environment showed low correlations. CONCLUSION: Overall, the questionnaire showed a high proportion of completion, and good reliability for the safety, hygiene and ergonomics dimensions. However, the psychosocial dimension did not show good reliability, suggesting these items should be revised. Copyright belongs to the Associació Catalana de Salut Laboral.
