Measurement and Evaluation Excerise - Leading Indicators
The following items can be used as measures in a safety management system. Measures
are a critical component of a safety management system. They provide proof that
regulatory required activities, corrective actions, goals and similar activities are
implemented and followed through to their completion. In many cases, measurements
also provide indications of improvement to a specific process or to the management
system as a whole. Remember, if it isn’t measured and documented, it isn’t done.
This exercise will provide you with experience in determining what types of items get
measured and in determining how well your company performs against their established
measures. Remember to keep documented records of what your measures, goals and
results are, so when your system is audited you can show your progress.
Exercise
- Choose at least one measure from each category that is applicable to your company’s business (or create a similar measure if none of these apply).
- Determine where the records or documentation exists for this measure.
- Determine if your company has attained the appropriate level of success against the measure (check records, documentation or ask responsible people).
- Implement a corrective action if the company has not achieved their goal.
