Safety Performance Scoring Balanced Safety Performance Scoring System Active Leadership20% Performance Expectations30% Training & Application of Skills20% Program Improvement20% Lagging Indicators 10% Total Score 100% Build into performance pay (from E&USA)
21
Active Leadership InspectionsExpectation 4 Executives 16 6 Directors 24 Department Safety MeetingsExpectation 4 Executives 16 6 Directors 35 Total expected 91 % Score based on actual / expected e.g. 89/91 = 98% with weighting of 10% for overall score = 9.8%
22
Performance Expectations Work observations by management staff Entered into software Reported by supervisor, manager and department Departmental safety meetings (manager responsibility) Incident investigations Causes and Recommendations provided Follow-up corrections made Inspection and safety meeting follow-up actions % completed vs. expected (from software reports) Wellness activities staff involved in activities; health fair participation
23
Incident Includes lost time, medical aid, first aid, motor vehicle, property damage, near miss contractors
24
Scoring Example for 10 Incidents Opportunity to provide and complete: 10 causes (+) + 10 recommendations to improve (+) + 10 follow-up actions completed (+) = 30 information items expected If there are 25 information items – Score 25/30 = 83% Weighting of 10% = 8.3%
25
Program Improvement External Audit Internal Audit Wellness survey Safety culture / climate survey Policy / procedure developed Approved & signed Implementation plans with specific goals Approved & signed
26
Score Program Improvements Done vs. Not Done = % score Audits / Assessments completed on time Policy and procedure completed and signed % improvement score Pitfall – changes in audit criteria, scoring system & auditor are out of your control Audit implementation plan % of specific items completed as per approved plan
27
Training and Application of Skills Training assessment (score done vs. not done) Evaluate impact of training (% of target) KSAs used on the job? e.g. appropriate eye safety understood after training (compliance needs management of work) Specific training needs (target % completed) Driver training PPE Ergonomic
28
Lagging Indicators Frequency Rate # LT × 200,000 ÷ hours worked = frequency rate Severity Rate # days lost × 200,000 ÷ hours worked = severity rate Vehicle Incident Rate # of MV incidents × 1,000,000 ÷ km driven = MV rate
