Traditionally we only examined raw numbers of accidents, split into various categories of cause. I've been introducing more information so we can compare different sized units & track over time - does anyone have advice / suggestions as to what else I could be looking at? (Only confined to accidents / lost time - we have other measures for training / inspection / investigation, etc)

I don't want to provide info overload, but am very keen on practical and relevant measures that can help monitor performance without the confusion of workforce size / seasonal overtime etc.

So far:

RIDDOR reportable per 100,000 hrs worked
Lost working days per 100,000 hrs worked

HSE data tends to be per 100k employees, but this seems more useful at the huge scale rather than for an individual company. Thing is I'm struggling to find comparative data / industry benchmarks for injuries per 100k hours.

Thanks a million for any suggestions

Your KPI pack can be as vast as you want near miss reports, risk assessments completed, actions closed, audits completed, behavioural safety observations....literally endless.

Keeping to the AFR style stuff you have already identified you could consider MDR (Mean Duration Rate).
Gives you a handle on how long people are having off on average.

AFR, AIR and MDR are a usual pack that work well together.

Always stick to 100,000 hours - anything else is pointless.
100,000 hours is roughly how many hours an adult will work in thier lifetime so you should be targeting <1 AFR - you can then statistically say that 'In a lifetime at company x you are not likely to have a lost time accident'.
