How do You measure health and safety performance?
Typically health and safety performance is measured reactively by looking at outputs such as accident and incident data. Whilst this data is important it doesn't tell you why this result has occurred.
What is needed is a measure of health and safety inputs to give a real picture of how risks are being effectively managed.
Balanced scorecards for individual business units can be developed and used to create a health and safety management dashboard representing key inputs to the process such as hazard identification, risk assessment, competence and monitoring.
It is true that what gets measured, gets managed, but it is only by measuring the right sort of health and safety inputs and activities that you will get a true picture of health and safety performance across your organisation.
