Companies that leverage their safety data and analytics to maintain a safe workplace are setting themselves up for success.
Safety leaders armed with data visuals and interpretations can make educated decisions that drive productivity, foster a strong culture of safety in the workplace, and encourage continuous improvement.
Drive Productivity
Injuries and illnesses can slow down your workforce and grind productivity to a halt. Depending on the severity, a workplace injury can result in direct and indirect productivity impacts, including:
- Time lost to work stoppage
- Damage to tools and equipment
- Administrative time spent by supervisors and safety managers
- Replacement worker training costs
Using data-driven safety strategies can help you avoid workplace accidents that hinder your team’s productivity.
Build Safety Culture
By presenting data to your employees and opening a discussion on interpretations, you can instill a stronger safety culture through team member engagement and transparent leadership. Together, you and your team can make data-driven decisions on improving workplace safety measures.
Continuous Improvement
Effective safety leaders constantly evaluate their safety procedures and make adjustments accordingly. You can harness the power of data and analytics to identify opportunities for continuous improvement to your safety procedures.
Types of Safety Data, and How to Use Them
Most safety data can be put into one of two categories: leading indicators and lagging indicators. Leading indicators use predictive measurements, like Near Miss Reports and Job Safety Analysis, to prevent future accidents and injuries. Lagging indicators use data points like Incidents Management and Root Cause Analysis to take a look at past performance and identify what needs improvement. Armed with a holistic view of past performance and future incidents, safety leaders can make informed decisions on how to best improve their workplace safety procedures.
Leading and Lagging Indicators
Leading Indicators are the forward-thinking reporting measurements used to predict and prevent future incidents.
Lagging Indicators are the retrospective reporting measurements that help evaluate past performance and inform future policies.
