Transform Your Safety Program with Effective Measurement
We have gone 365 days without an accident! Great! Does that mean we are safe, lucky or some combination? Does what we measure in safety tell us that? Does the way we currently measure tell people how to help or get better in safety? When we measure and define safety as not getting hurt, we send the message that it is safe; as long as you don't get hurt. Have you ever heard the old saying "What gets measured gets managed?" Measurement isn't
management, but management decides what is important enough to measure and tends to focus their attentions on those issues. Leading, comparative and interactive
Safety metrics have helped many organizations transformationally focus safety management efforts.
Improving what we measure has the potential to improve how effectively we manage and create ownership and accountability in safety. Moreover when effectively measured and managed, we help people identify how to be safe at work, at home and in their everyday lives. This webinar discusses the traditional measurements, what the pioneers are beginning to measure, the transformational measurement possibilities, and what good measurement practices include. You will also learn about measurement dysfunction and how to avoid it. The conclusion will explore where safety metrics are going and what the ideal future may look like.
Learning Objectives:
To fully understand current safety metrics and how they are calculated
To realize the limitations of current metrics
To list what measurement accomplishes
To explore how measurement dysfunction can derail your efforts
To see what other organizations are measuring
