Has your business improved its health and safety in 2021?

Has your business improved its health and safety in 2021?

How do you know? What are you measuring?

What does better look like?

There's the obvious; less harm done, measure...

But that isn't a measure of improvement, it's a measure of the absence of harm...

And there are various ways that can happen, here are a few...

- Employ less people
- Do less work
- Do more work in a less hazardous environments
- Report less harm done
- Make reporting harm done, difficult
- Tell everyone that all accidents are preventable
- Make people feel that having accidents, are incongruent with the companies safety philosophy. (Zero Harm)
- Employ safety managers to manage safety
- Report lagging indicators to boards
- Report the minutiae to directors
- Discipline workers for safety breaches
- Demand a culture of Personal Responsibility

If you measure injuries as a core component of your H&S performance and you want to show improvement in 2022, do a combination of the above, you'll be surprised how effective they will be.

You too can look good to your shareholders.
