Posted By Debbie S With a change in management recently comes a change to the way pay awards are going to be made. It has been decided that if you achieve or meet certain targets you'll get a better increase (nothing new I know but I work for a Company that is 20 years behind normal industry) I'm all for this. Our depot managers are easy to do as they have budgets to manage, deliveries to achieve and health & safety inspections etc to do. The problem for me is that no-one knows how to measure my job. Yes my risk assessment /SSOW are done and monitored. Road Traffic Accidents are dealt with by insurance or us, recorded and reports produced. Accident / Incidents are investiaged and changes in regulations applied. The question is how can you measure my performance. I suppose if we don't have accidents / HSE inspections then I'm doing my job effectively. Can anyone give me some indicators that I need to be suggesting to my new director responsible for health & safety on how they can 'measure' my job.

Posted By Richie Higgins Hi, Why not set objectives which in turn will hopefully have cost saving effects for your company. By objectives I suggest such things as gaining accreditation OHSAS 18001 (example only), or on a lesser level deliver H&S training, internal audits, inspections, safetly sampling etc... then if you meet, or line managers meet these objectives then surely the company will reap the benefits ... then you should? I belive there are ways to measure performance in BS 8800, no doubt also in many other publications too but i have recently been made aware of these. Alternatively prove to the MD that you are saving him money by the statistics, accidents / incidents, production, quality, loss time absences etc etc... a good risk management plan with acceptable / tolerable risk may also help.
