If you want better safety performance, you need more than a list of metrics. You need clear safety objectives and KPIs that show whether your organization is reducing risk, strengthening leadership, improving culture, and preventing serious events before they happen. Safety KPIs should align strategic risk priorities with operational actions and controls, so you can…
A strong safety culture does not happen by accident. If you want fewer serious injuries and fatalities, better reporting, and more reliable execution, you need a clear, data-driven view of how people think, act, and make tradeoffs around risk. That is exactly what a safety culture assessment delivers. What is a Safety Culture Assessment? A…
As a safety leader, you need to prevent serious injuries and fatalities, not just report them. Understanding leading vs lagging indicators in safety helps you act before harm occurs while still meeting compliance. This guide clarifies the difference, gives practical examples, and shows how to balance both so your EHS program reduces high-energy exposure and…
If you want fewer serious injuries and fatalities, measure what predicts them. Generic safety activity counts rarely target high-energy hazards that drive SIF outcomes. This guide shows you how to select leading indicators for SIF prevention, map them to real exposures, and run a simple review rhythm that turns data into action — and how…
Serious Injury and Fatality (SIF) prevention focuses your safety effort on eliminating life-altering harm and deaths. Instead of counting all injuries equally, you identify exposures that can kill or permanently disable and install the critical controls that reliably prevent them. This means learning from potential SIF events, verifying controls where risk is high, and building…
Why Your Safety Dashboard Deserves Executive Attention On the day of his retirement, the head of EHS at a large, global manufacturing company sent a note filled with advice for his friends and colleagues. This note summed up his decades-long experience. The first item on this list was “Stop the Spitting Contest,” or something to…
The types of safety data available today and the tools for analyzing it are changing at a rapid pace. In this video, Dr. Tom Krause and Kristen Bell have a discussion about the evolving role that data is playing in organizational safety.
“If this happened at home, would you go to the hospital?” This was the third question that occurred to David when his warehouse manager stepped off a platform onto a loose rock and rolled his ankle. For the sake of his numbers, David was hoping the answer was “No.” David had attended incident response training…
Over the past several years many safety organizations have focused in on leading indicators. The idea is that OSHA rates are too far down the pipe to guide preventative action, so metrics reflecting earlier activity are needed to guide safety action. In concept this makes sense, but in actual practice can be flawed. A panel…
You’ve see the astounding numbers: hundreds of thousands of Americans die each year due to medical treatment errors. Indeed, the median credible estimate is 350,000, more than U.S. combat deaths in all of World War II. If you measure the “value of life” the way economists and federal agencies do it – that is, by…
