Leading Indicators to Improve S/H Outcomes

Leading Indicators to Improve Safety & Health Outcomes in the Workplace

Leading indicators can play a vital role in preventing worker fatalities, injuries, and illnesses and strengthening other safety and health outcomes in the workplace. Leading indicators are proactive and preventive measures that can shed light about the effectiveness of safety and health activities and reveal potential problems in a safety and health program. 
Leading indicators are a valuable tool regardless of whether you have a safety or health program, what you have included in your program, or what stage you may be at in your program. Lagging indicators measure the occurrence and frequency of events that occurred in the past, such as the number or rate of injuries, illnesses, and fatalities. While lagging indicators can alert you to a failure in an area of your safety and health program or to the existence of a hazard, leading indicators are important because they can tell you whether your safety and health activities are effective at preventing incidents. 

This course will cover:
• What are, and the benefits to using Leading Indicators
• How to use Leading Indicators for controlling hazards
• Using Leading Indicators to improve your Safety & Health Program
