What to measure?
Reactive indicators:
To measure the (long-term) impact of our safety efforts
To identify hotspots and trends
To verify/validate assumptions made in pre-assessments
Difficulties with reactive indicators in ATM:
Very low numbers for significant events (low probability)
Direct allocation of impact to efforts
Creates "bad" feelings and urgency to immediately react
In most cases only negative data is measured

What to measure?
Proactive indicators:
To measure safety efforts (output)
To detect week points, possible problems
To identify drifts into failure
Difficulties with proactive indicators in ATM:
Difficulty to argue direct relevance, to justify measures
Information might be biased
Building relevant proactive indicators is difficult

What to measure?
Sharp-end indicators:
Measuring failures directly at the impact point
Difficulties with sharp-end indicators in ATM:
Have a high potential for blaming operators
Blaming or even punishing the operators will
reduce the number of reports and the
effectiveness of the SMS

What to measure?
Blunt-end indicators:
Measuring things which can contribute to sharp-end
failures
Difficulties with blunt-end indicators in ATM:
Sometimes difficult to measure
Sometimes difficult to allocate the direct relevance
The further away we go from the sharp end, the
more difficult it gets to take corrective actions (no
direct control)

What to measure?
"Soft" or indirect indicators:
To measure symptoms
To get a feeling for the consequences of actions
To "measure" safety culture
Difficulties with "soft" or indirect indicators in ATM:
Considerable effort needed (lots of people involved)
Individual measurement may not be relevant, but trend
analysis are -> long term indicator
Needs an open and trustful culture
