Hello,
One of my companys larger facilities, has a functioning EHS commitee (safety). We set reasonably simple objectives on an annual basis. Example Current ones are -
1. Max attendance at monthly EHS meeting. (Conferencing is acceptable)
2. Achieve company targets for Incidents and Accidents.
3. Timely completion of monthly EHS committee members site inspections
As its the new year I need to come up with a couple of new ones. Does anyone do something similiar as im after some fresh new ideas for objectives for 2014.

What are your company targets for Incidents? (I assume that these are maximums?)
And where do your misses fit in? Do you encourage reporting them so that a high ratio of near misses to incidents is a GOOD THING or do you regard them as a BAD THING and try to get them as low as possible?
EXCUSE THE CAPITALS but I use them when I try to explain things to directors and children.

Our accident rate target is set using the standard formula of accidents x hours / 200,000. (My company is american and they use 200,000 instead of the usual 100,000 figure for calculation of the rate).
We do encourage the reporting of near misses and have various ways for our employees to report such events. We have never set a target for the number of near misses to be reported though. Never was quite sure if stipulating a figure of near misses to be reported was a good thing or not.

You have the choice between some qualitative and some quantitative objectives, a move towards some ingrained quality based objectives would remove the need for top down targets that can sometimes belittle otherwise well performing management teams.
How about leadership safety tours, development of an observation system (comments/suggestion box) with recognition of employees, or perhaps representatives involvement in walk-around inspections.
Other more basic targets might be development of non-compliance tracking systems, awareness campaigns (run four locally in the year) or training?

On a practical basis does the organisation have a EHS plan? if you do you can measure the performance against that.

An easy one is to create a 'Perfect Day' count.
Define what your company deems to be a perfect day:
Example:
Zero Accidents
No damage to plant etc.
The listing is down to the individual organisation. But I would not over complicate.
And then report the outcomes.

Hi Stonecold
You don't identify what type of organisation you have - office, light engineering, textile, oil & fuel tank farm, re-cycling site, etc - so it's not so easy to come up with activities that will be genuinely striking to the full spectrum of the workforce.
However, building on Corfields suggestion - as an extension of the "Safety Tour" [which means nothing if those doing the tour don't know what goes on or what to look for] how about getting those who are ultimately responsible for control of the safety budget talking through the various work processes and associated RAs with those who actually do the job as a pre-cursor to Corfields suggestions?
