Safety metrics are quantitative measures used to assess the effectiveness of safety programs and practices within an organization. These metrics can include the number of workplace accidents, injury rates, and compliance with safety regulations. By tracking these figures, organizations can identify trends, areas for improvement, and the overall safety culture. Organizations often use safety metrics to set goals and benchmarks for performance. Common examples include the Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) and Lost Time Injury Rate (LTIR). Regularly reviewing these metrics helps ensure a safer work environment and promotes accountability among employees and management.
