Posted By Jasonjg Hi I would have emailed you direct but here is a list I was cutting and pasting for a later date breakdown and elimination. I am sorry that it may be repeated in places, some may also sound stupid etc. I had not returned to this subject for some time and therefore just hope you get some ideas from it like I did. This is one area that I feel we could all benefit by sharing some tools and templates for other to get ideas from. Good luck Jason Total number of injuries involving employees (especially, new employees), subcontractors or others on site: Minor work-related injuries. For example, visits to first aid or medical facility; Other work-related injuries which resulted in the worker taking time off work;I.e. Riddor reportable Any work-related injuries that required a worker to undertake alternative work duties; and compensable work-related injuries. Number of Incidents where there was damage to property (i.e. machinery, equipment, structures) or potential injury to employees, sub-contractors or others (i.e. near misses). Cost of accidents Cost of non injury accidents Recurrence of incidents; Number of injuries per body partNumber of injuries per area or department Number of hazards identified through formal inspections Number of improvement/prohibition notices from regulatory agencies Number of poor working practices witnessed by management Number of negative/warning comments/complaints from employees Number of health & safety authority fines Proactive or positive Indicators Commitment by management to safety Number of internal safety improvement notices Percentage of people inducted Number of inductions to industry standard Number of tool box meetings held Number of method statements signed off Number of accidents/near misses investigated Internal safety audit scores External safety audit scores (if applicable); Frequency of site safety meetings Number of health & safety audits scheduled (internal and for sub contractors); Number of health & safety audits completed (internal and for sub contractors); Number of nonconformance reports raised on site Number of nonconformance reports outstanding to date Percentage of company employees observed performing a task correctly Percentage of movement in attitude surveys Number of employees attending training Number of reported plant incidents Number of contractor safety plans Number of contractor plans audited Number of contractor plans appraised Number of safety committee meetings held Number of safety committee inspections Number of management workplace inspections Percentage of actions closed out Number of attendees at specific Health & Safety training courses Number of weekly toolbox meetings held Risk assessments revised, accepted and recorded Number of clean up notices issued Number of departures from safe work method statements Number of issues identified on safety walks Percentage of supervisor checklists not completed for week Results of safety inspections, particularly continuing or repeated problems Safety committee effectiveness Audit of minutes of meetings Annual culture survey Annual performance reviews Monthly audit of participation in the development of job safety analyses (JSA) as recorded on each JSA Awareness of safe systems of work by employees and sub-contractors at toolbox meetings Monitoring the involvement of the safety committee and site safety committee in the review of JSAs Audit of inspection reports to check participants Checking actual work performance against referees’ reports, interview results, evaluations. Audit of accident investigation reports against hazard control reports Audit of Health & Safety meetings to determine that problems are dealt with Audit of actual state of plant and equipment against statutory requirements - monthly audits and random checks Health & Safety performance of sub-contractors at tender evaluation stage and at completion of work Number of JSAs conducted Number of hazard inspections conducted Number of Health & Safety training exercises held Number of Health & Safety bulletins issued Whether there is evidence that surveillance of sub-contractors is carried out (rated either yes or no); The frequency of on-site inspections The time taken to fix problems in accordance with the allocated timeframe General attitude to safety on site (subjectively assessed by the Health & Safety coordinator); Quality of records and documents related to Health & Safety (subjectively assessed by the Health & Safety coordinator); Commitment to safety overall (subjectively assessed by the Health & Safety coordinator); Percentage of injuries incurred for major hazards Percentage of sub-standard conditions identified and corrected as a result of safety audits Results of independent (by people in the same company but from different sites) and external audits. Measured as number, regularity, quality, outcomes and action taken to resolve non-conformances Time taken to get hazards under control once they have been identified Assessment of the availability and standard of PPE Number of hazard reports and feedback from toolbox meetings Return to work performance - to assess the effectiveness of rehabilitation Content and, method of holding, chairing or presenting tool box meetings Frequency and duration of tool box meetings Participation level in tool box meetings Worker assessment of supervisor/project management commitment to Health & Safety (but needs to be designed so as to be confident that responses are honest); Assessment of the effectiveness of JSAs on site through audit of diary entries and discussions with site supervisors and workers Assessment of effectiveness of on-site induction training (on basis of time taken to become a safe, independent worker); Availability of equipment necessary to perform the job safely (assessed by audit/worker feedback); Maintenance of equipment (audit of maintenance records); An attitude shift amongst workers and clients measured by questionnaires or interviews. (Could be used at an enterprise and industry level.); Workplace survey to determine levels of respect and a happy working environment. The survey would cover communication, consultation, participation in decision-making, and good human relations. (Could be used at an enterprise and industry level.); Adherence to site rules - the number of punitive measures instigated on the job such as verbal alerts/warnings, infringement notices through to removal from site Standard of housekeeping Standard and availability of facilities and equipment Amount of feedback from the ground up on Health & Safety matters Reaction time to deal with issues that are raised Independent feedback e.g. from Health & Safety agencies; Reduction in the number of corrective actions required per inspection Number of repeat problems occurring Number of structured visits to site by corporate directors Individual performance assessment and ratings Number of Health & Safety committee/toolbox/team meetings attended by management; Number of employees wanting to be part of committees and other participatory forums - taken as an indication of the effectiveness of the Health & Safety program; Benchmarking - internal and external; Inclusion of Health & Safety in tender specifications; Sites develop and implement an Health & Safety improvement plan - this indicator is being tracked to ensure that plans are developed and implemented on all sites/projects; Number of hazards controlled Data from structured daily site observations Planned observations of high risk activities - percentage of compliance Monitoring local hazards Level of improvement over time in audit ratings Incident reporting frequency rate used as a positive indicator - where the potential for accident or injury is reported, opportunities to improve physical or behavioural safety increase; Attitude surveys; Number of equipment failures; Level of industrial disputation related to Health & Safety issues. Pre-placement health assessments; Active participation and feedback from employees in toolbox/pre-start meetings etc; Comparison of training provided against a benchmark or percentage e.g. 70% trained in welding; Demonstrated use of appropriate work practices and preventative procedures; Documented observations of compliance with housekeeping standards; Using feedback from “weekly look ahead” meetings to identify risks and hazards; Daily hazard reports.

Posted By David A Jones Thanks for the responses - generally along the same lines as my thoughts but a couple of useful extras.
