2023 Safety Benchmarking Survey Now Open
You are invited to participate in Safety Action’s 2023 safety performance benchmarking project. All participants receive a free copy of the full report.
Per last month’s article on Measuring Safety, read here, there is a long standing debate in safety industry about the best ways to measure safety.
Should we still measure lag indicators, e.g. LTI, MTI, TRI, after the fact data which is often seen as a measure the lack of safety?
Should we measure the undertaking of safety activities, called lead indicators e.g. percentage of inspections conducted on time, audits score, employee survey.
Each method has its pros and cons with little agreed standard across industry. And we believe both have their place. Lag indicators are viewed as standard for historical reasons, but also allow comparison across businesses. Whilst lead indicators are viewed as serving a higher internal value of ensuring safety activities are performed, which is then thought to improve safety.

What we learn from benchmarking
Last survey* identified TRI’s were the only trending data, with LTIs and MTIs have no statistically observable trends or relationship with activities.
A correlation was identified between injury data (TRIFR) reduction and the following activities being undertaken;
Existence of a key risk register
Presence of a 5-10year safety plan
3 years safety audits
This data has been consistent over the last two surveys. And it will be interesting to find out if this remains the same for another year.
