Leading Indicators

Leading indicators are proactive, preventative and predictive measures while lagging indicators measure EHS Performance.  According to the Campbell Institute of the National Safety Council,  any successful safety management system will have a balance of leading and lagging indicators.

The presentation below  will show you how to improve your safety outcomes by using technology to generate leading indicators. The presentation will focus on six leading indicators — one for each element of OSHA’s Recommended Practices for Safety and Health Programs (OSHA 3885).

These six leading indicators include:

1. Number of employee safety ideas and hazards submitted
2. Average time between worker report of a safety idea or hazard and management knowledge of the report
3. Percentage of incidents with root cause investigation complete
4. Percentage of hazards abated in same day, week or month the hazard was identified.
5. Number of safety inspections completed.
