ABSTRACT

Most businesses consider a multitude of factors to evaluate the performance of each business sector. In today's business culture, one singular number - OSHA recordable - typically measures safety. This is comparable to driving down the highway using your rear view mirror to steer.
Business Measurements for Safety Performance provides a simple, effective, and applicable method of measuring safety performance. Just as other sectors consider equipment damage, lost product, employee turnover, customer satisfaction, and a host of other factors, so should safety performance. It can and should be measured using the same criteria as all other business sectors.
Safety performance can affect a company's bottom line. The challenge: can we quantifiably measure safety performance in the same way we measure production performance, sales performance, or any other business sector. Business Measurements for Safety Performance supplies the tools you need for safety measurement to compete with other business sectors for company dollars, awareness, and commitment from management.
