    What key performance indicators do you use to monitor health and safety performance?

    I am sure that scrap metal businesses and every organization has their health and safety management system. Does your organization have health and safety under control? What key performance indicators (KPIs) do you use to monitor health and safety performance?

    This will not answer your question because this company only has three employees, me, myself, and I. Me fires myself everyday and I hire him back. I am a fitness consultant and provide services to major corporations, school districts, health agencies, etc. If you want specific insight you will need to PM because this insight will not be shared on a public forum for free.
    Give back more to this world than we take.

    None of us are large corporations ( that I know of ) ... I seriously doubt anyone here has an OSHA approved H/S policy .

    Precisely, we need to prevent workplace injuries and diseases among employees and we should measure health and safety performance of each worker. Although, the responsibilities to see to it that everything is in place from progress of strategies and processes are sometimes allocated by companies. However, it will depend on company's capacity to invest on these safety program but it is relevant to know the health and safety regulations at work. Probably, you can ask help from experts to provide an effective health and safety system.

    If its red, its probably blood.
    If the bloods not moving its OK.
    If it dribbles, wipe and wait to see if it stops.
    If you. can see fat or muscle, its not good. But if its not bleeding lots its manageable.
    If the blood slows down, it probably just needs a plaster.
    If it spurts, yah gotta do something about that soonish....

    Keep your beer near enough for easy access, but far enough away from your working area to prevent spillage.

    It's a fine balance... but a wet floor is a performance indicator that your beer was too close.

    Workplace safety is a huge factor in becoming and maintaining a successful business, whether it’s in our backyard shed or in a large corporate warehouse. You can measure safety performance by accident frequency and risk management.



    Accident frequency is easy. How many times have I cut myself? Is that dust making me choke and get sick? How many beers did the dog help me clean up this week? All these answers are the basis of your individual workplace safety record.



    Risk management is the hard one. Make sure you are wearing gloves, hard toe boots, hard hat, high viz vest. Use the right tools; sharp blades, sockets not vice grips. Stack material safely; no leaning towers of printers, good quality storage bins. Minimize your piles and “heaps”. Beer MUST be in a koozie at all times, placed in a certified cup holder that could withstand a small earthquake, and places no higher than shoulder height, but no lower than you knee. Replacements MUST be within sight line and be of a substantial quantity.



    Accident frequency can be reduced through risk management. In turn, risk management directly affects accident frequency. If you understand this relationship, you can directly affect your businesses success.



    Hope this helps answer the Op’s question

    Good luck, be safe and drink on.



    Now where did I put my beer …….?
