I work in a demand led Health and Safety Unit.
We have been asked to provide a measurement of what we do so that when we aquire extra staff resources we can prove how much extra has being accomplished as a result of those resources.
Rather than re-invent the wheel I was wondering whether anyone here has a simple, unobtrusive system of measuring their work?

So if it is a successful unit through hard work then there should be fewer entries and thus less work to do and so we can reduce the unit size.

Just reading this rang bells of "you must be in local government" Its not an easy task and you need to try and devise a measure based on say budget values and staff numbers v SA time, or risk levels v SA input. For my work I know that
Other possibilities could be based on number and time of active monitoring visits, ie those not related to checking in the event of a failure. If you go for auditing you could also look towards Corrective Action work and Non-conformance reporting investigations.

You are close, central government.
Already measuring accidents.
However, considered a measure of effectiveness and not output.
In other words you could do loads of work (high output) but it might not affect accidents as it is the wrong work (low effectiveness).
Typical Civil Service want evidence from all angles.

Many organisations only consider reactive measures of performance such as number accident rates, absence due to accidents??
I am sure you can justify it by using proactive measures of performance such as those listed in Annexe E of BS 8800:1996- GUIDE TO OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

Mark,
There was an excellent publication recently issued by Step Change in Safety called "Leading Performance Indicators - A Guide for Effective Use."
It can be found on:
http://step.steel-sci.or...main_publications_fs.htm
It emphasises the difference between measurement and effectiveness, as you pointed out, and I think it might be quite useful to you and anyone else who may be interested i performance measurement.
Step Change in Safety is a free resource aimed at improving the safety culture in the UK Oil and Gas industry and although some subjects are industry specific they do have cover more general matters like this one.
Hope it helps.
