This book investigates the world of leading indicators and explores
how they can be used effectively, providing 21st-century safety
professionals with alternative metrics and guidance, which will
enable them to make a difference in managing risk within an
organization. The safety and health profession has been hindered by
ineffective metrics for decades, with the primary metrics of choice
being the OSHA incident rate and lost time accident rate. This
narrow focus on what constitutes loss is not in line with the new
concepts of managing the total risk that an organization faces. The
book looks at indicators on a tactical level where they can be very
effective in providing management with clear direction and
"manageable" items they can utilize to elevate the safety efforts
of an organization. It also explores the limitations of leading
indicators at the strategic level and how they're tied into the
management merit review system to determine bonus and salary
increase structures. It features measurements of areas of loss not
usually considered by safety managers, suggests ways to use leading
indicators, and promotes a departure from traditional "body count"
thinking. This book will be of interest to safety professionals
involved in risk management in the modern workplace.
