Improve Safety Outcomes with Leading Indicators

Are you going that extra step to protect your employees from catastrophic risks? Do you have the answers to these questions at your facility?

1. What can go wrong?
2. What controls are in place to prevent incidents?
3. What does each control deliver in terms of a ‘safety outcome’?
4. Do you have confidence the controls continue to function as intended?

Hopefully, the above questions have already been asked and answered.

The development and implementation of a critical indicator program is essential for monitoring safety and performance trends.

Critical Indicator Scope

1. A routine, systematic check to ensure actions or activities are performed as intended.
2. Indicators can be considered as measures of process or inputs essential to the desired safety outcome.
