Just that,
Any suggestions for what should be the KPIs for a Safety Section in a diverse Local Authority (e-mail me if you'd prefer)?

I think there should be a split between KPI's on the negative side of safety and on the positive side.
Perhaps one target of reducing reportable accidents (but not the reporting thereof) year on year. Perhaps some sort of ratio target?
Another target could be a figure derived from audits ref. training - how many people have had tool-box talks on itemised topics or how many have taken part in specific workshops raising awareness on other topics?
It needs to be something SMART otherwise it's pointless. What data is collected from other sources? Perhaps a tie-in with Personnel and absence figures? Reduction in sickness absence year on year?
My thoughts for the moment!

Hi Francis and Jan
Suggest you have a look at:
Title: Total Quality Management and the Management of Health and Safety.
Author: Osborne, J. and Zairi, M. European Centre Total Quality Management, Bradford University for HSE
ISBN: 0 7176 14557 HSEbooks: £15
and I believe Neil Budworth has published an article on the subject in the Practitioner some while back so he'll have done some research, I expect.
Regards
Matthew

Thanks for all responses, so far, more still most welcome.
Anyone got a copy of Neil's article?- I can, now, recall it and thinking it was good- but didn't keep it...

Here's a few leading indicators we use
inspections planned vs completed (minimum standard every 3 months)
inpections with overdue actions
walkabouts planned vs completed for different levels of management
investigation reports issued within 5 days
investigations with outstanding actions
fire drills planned vs completed (minium standard annually)
risk assesments reviews planned vs completed
local improvement plan actions planned vs completed
Performance against the above is reported upwards for different parts of the organisation and presented in a way which allows comparision between the different parts.
We are now looking to setting targets for each of the indicators.
Steve

Posted By peter gotch Francis Have you looked at the KPIs recommended in "Achieving excellence in construction" (OGC 1999) and the H&S related issues in "Respect for People" (M4I 2000)including some proactive indicators of performance and stakeholder ownership, eg training days completed, workforce suggestions received. The Confederation of Construction Clients (now Construction Clients Group) pushed this boat forward. See www.clientsuccess.orgPrinciples of course apply to issues other than construction work. Regards, Peter

So who actually has responsibility for managing health and safety in your LA? I would guess the respective Sections and Services and their managers, not you!
We had a long hard look at KPI's when they came in as flavour of the month, and considered measuring many things, but discarded most as they were not particularly realistic (e.g. who really cares if Audit findings are presented within 'X' days of Audit completion?)
Look at your Projects and responsibilities (not those of the various duty holders out there in the Council Departments), get them tied down to SMART outlines and measure your performance on keeping these Projects on track!

Posted By Steve Conway Ron's suggestion on focusing on your projects and responsibilities, rather than duty holders, prompted me to look at your original posting again. My suggestions related to the latter and are not appropriate for an advisory/support service. The audit commission has published guidance on performance indicators which may help - http://www.audit-commiss...C4B/archive_mptarget.pdfSteve
