Option 2: Using Leading Lagging Indicators to Measure Safety Performance
Marc Bianco, Executive Vice President of United Alliance Services, will foster a discussion on how using leading and lagging indicators to measure safety performance can be an effective way to prevent workplace incidents.
This process involves measuring both your bottom-line safety results and how well your workplace is doing at accident and incident prevention. By controlling leading indicators, such as the amount of safety training or lessons you provide, you can help control your lagging indicators, such as your injury rate.
During the seminar you will learn how:
Leading indicators are focused on future safety performance and continuous improvement. These measures are proactive in nature and report what employees and management are doing on a regular basis to prevent injuries. Leading indicators help identify and understand the factors affecting the risk of injury. Use of this information will help identify ways to prevent the occurrence of work injury and illness.
Leading indicators that are connected to specific occupational health and safety program goals introduce a real level of accountability for those goals. But beyond tracking progress towards achieving specific goals, leading indicators can also measure and monitor their relative importance of health and safety within the organization.
Leading indicators can work to complement the more traditional outcome-based measures of lagging indicators, and can be used to balance out some of their limitations.

During the seminar you will learn how:
- Every organization and workplace is unique, so we will look at which indicators can provide you with the best information.
- How using leading and lagging indicators together will help provide a solid, bigger picture on what is and is not working in your occupational health and safety program.
