EHS Metrics: How to Measure What Matters Most To Drive Safety in Your Organization

You’ve spent hours tracking the leading and lagging indicators and mapping your results. Not only do you monitor your OSHA logs, you’re also tracking near-miss data for analysis and evaluation. If data were dollars, you’d be rich!

So why haven’t you seen a noticeable decline in accidents, illnesses, and injuries? Could you be gathering the wrong data? Maybe your problems lie in the proper interpretation of your data. Or maybe you have “analysis paralysis” and can’t seem to derive real action items from the info you’ve collected.

If you’re spinning your wheels, it’s time to sit down and learn exactly which EHS data to collect, how to analyze your findings, and how to effectively act on them. Order this webinar recording and we’ll explain everything you need to know.

You’ll learn:

• The limitations and meaningful application of trailing measures
• How to create balance in safety performance measurement systems - including balance between leading and lagging measures and balance among the types of leading measures (including activity and outcome measures)
• How to select and use EHS measures that drive high performance safety management
• A systematic strategy for creating and improving leading measurement systems
• How to include benchmarking in your EHS measurement systems
• Important considerations for using audit results as a key measure of safety performance improvement
• Which EHS measures make the most sense to track - and why they have the greatest impact on your company’s safety and health program
• How to use leading measures to motivate, drive performance, and foster continuous improvement
• Strategies for maximizing objectivity of leading safety measures
• The value of qualitative EHS measures - and why safety professionals must resist pressures to avoid them
• How to “talk the walk” when discussing your EHS performance factors with CEOs, CFOs, COOs, and your board of directors
