Just wanted to open a discussion regarding KPIs, what's important to your organisation? Why and what specific target do you look to achieve? A the moment the organisation that I work for is interested in Lost Time Accidents, their frequency and severity and also RIDDOR reportable accident with the obvious target being zero. We task our shop floor team leaders with report a number of safety issues each month.

Hi Des, That seems a fairly comprehensive set of KPIs considering the low risk nature of your business, thanks for sharing.

Just some suggestions: Lagging Indicators • Nos. of accidents or violent incidents within a premise; • Nos. of accidents and violent incidents across an area or section; • Nos. of Health and Safety prosecutions; • Nos. of incidents reported to the Health and Safety Executive (RIDDOR); • Nos. of Fire Deficiency Notices issued by the Scottish Fire and Rescue; • Nos. of fires or un-wanted fire alarm signals (false alarms); • Nos. of days lost due to injury; • Nos. of reported instances of occupation ill health; and • Settlement costs for health and safety claims. . Leading Indicators • Nos. of Safety Policies reviewed; • Nos. of Risk Assessments reviewed; • Nos. of Health and Safety training courses delivered; • Nos. of site visits, safety audits and accident investigations completed; • Nos. of deficiencies raised during audits; • Completion rate of actions arising from audits; • Nos. of Working Groups established and attended; • Nos. of Contractors / Work Placements vetted; • Nos. of potential accidents / incidents i.e. vehicle near miss, unstable wall etc.; and • Nos. of dangerous occurrences reported to the Health and Safety Executive (RIDDOR).

Good luck with the Near Miss KPI :)
