Performance Metrics: Using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and monitoring tools to track incidents, near misses, training completion rates, and other relevant data points.
Reporting: Regularly reporting on safety performance to management and relevant authorities to inform decision-making and ensure accountability.
Behavioral Observation: Monitoring human behavior at work to identify and correct deviations from safe practices (Prevention and Observation Program, POP).
Review and Feedback: Post-project reviews to evaluate safety performance, gather “lessons learned,” and improve future projects.
