We always seek to reduce the possibility of incidents occurring and we always look to learn from these incidents. We acknowledge that traditional lagging safety metrics measure "unsafety" or "things that have gone wrong".
Lead indicators tend to count the number of positive things we have done like audits or observation cards but do not always give great insight into what makes our work successful and safe. We are establishing new ways of measuring health and safety performance, to offer predictive insight into what makes us successful and safe in our work.
Once we have discovered our own unique set of performance metrics, we will gain enhanced visibility of what makes us successful, and we can trend the metrics to make sure we aren't unknowingly eroding what keeps us safe, allowing us to reallocate resources where we spot trouble ahead.
We track traditional lag and lead indicators including Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) and Total Injury Severity Rate (TISR) and we have a set of corporate targets to measure safety performance.
