Posted By grumpy I would like to know what KPIs and targets other safety people have in place within their organisations. I do like target setting for the number of accidents as it stops people reporting them so what others are in place??

Posted By TomP We use the RoSPA QSA process. This provides a nice numerical score which can be judged and above all, allows targets to be set. Not cheep but sets a very high standard.

Posted By Raymond Rapp Grumpy I hope that was a typo...and you meant 'stops people from having accidents.' Not stops people from reporting them! Ray

Posted By grumpy Ray NO - I meant what I said ! If you put target (limit) on the number of accidents departments are allowed to have in any one year then when they get near that target they will stop reporting them so they dont exceed the target.

Posted By DP you are right to stay away from reporting it will drive it underground. Stick to compliance and quality. e.g. 100% inductions undertaken and training programmes completed. Actions from inspections and audits completed. Just think about what you want to achieve from the KPI's. This is opportunity to get it.

Posted By Alan Hoskins Ray, I think it was a typo, but it was a missing 'not' between do and like... Agree with others it's a bad idea. A

Posted By steve e ashton Oh dear - an I feeding the troll, or joining in a little mischievous fun? Hows about a target for reducing the number of worthless engineering inspections we pay for (worthless = don't find anything wrong). We'll soon stop having to pay for any of them. Or a target for how many holes we can dig without using a single prop or sheet? Or a reduction in the number (and costs) of hours wasted evacuating everyone during fire drills and false alarms (now there's an easy target to meet - just unplug the alarm system...) Or a target for cuts in management time from unproductive inspections of the workplace. (Because we know nothing is ever actioned anyway). Or a healthy working target that restricts annual management bonus when anyone is absent more than two days in a year (just watch the absence figure plummet, and see how many sickoes are dismissed for incompetence...) Or hows about a general staffing efficiency target that requires all non-essential personnel to be made redundant. Bye bye H&S officers in the first tranche?) Sorry - I think I am feeding a troll. Steve
