Cres You might find the following worth considering which I used as part of an annual H&S award system for a national company with 300 plus sites: 1. Number of branch H&S Team Meetings held, which should be minimum of four per year. 2. Completion of risk assessments and action plans implemented - biased towards 100% completion (which is a legal requirement); 3. Number of branch employees trained in H&S (correctly recorded on company training forms) expressed as a percentage of staff trained divided by number of branch staff; 4. Number of RIDDOR reportable accidents/incidents and quality of action taken to prevent recurrence - expressed as a ratio of number of branch staff divided by number of accidents and/or near misses. 5. Brief written recommendation by Regional Director as to why he thinks that his submission should be a contender. Regards PM

Hi Cres, Some other measures we use are no of hazards/near misses reported, against the number of hazards actioned and closed. (we use a hazard near miss report book to capture this) Number of safety tours or inspections carried out. As PM suggests training should figure, we run this as number of health & safety training hours completed. Hope this helps!

We have found introducing a rota for safety walkrounds and using the data from these to highlight possible trends. Or maybe 'Perfect days', a perfect day is classified has having no incidents or negative reports from the walkround. Try and set realistic targets, involve your staff, get their buy in. introduce a simple form that staff can fill in if they see a problem and they can do something about it. we call these Be Safe's but you can customise this to what you and your staff want.
