SECTION-2 BASIS
2.1 Purpose

The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines for establishing realistic, achievable
and quantifiable safety goals & objectives.

2.2 Summary

EPCL believes that managing safety like other aspects of a business includes setting
realistic, achievable and quantifiable goals and objectives. Each work group and manager,
including Safety Staff, should have personal and group safety goals appropriate to their
area of responsibility and daily tasks.
The document given below covers the following:
1. Establishing Safety Goals and Objectives
2. Sample Safety and Environment Objectives
3. Performance Indicators
 Lagging Indicators

SECTION-3 ESTABLISHING SAFETY OBJECTIVES


Managing safety, like managing other aspects of a business, includes setting performance
goals and objectives. Safety goals should be realistic, achievable, quantifiable, and within
the sphere of influence of the person and group who is to be held accountable for
achievement.
Safety goals must be supported by workable objectives and incremental plans that will
achieve the goal. Each work group and manager, including the safety staff, should have
personal and group safety goals appropriate to their area of responsibility and daily tasks.

3.1 General

The method detailed in this guideline is a systematic and organized technique for
gathering information about an issue in order to develop a plan for reaching a goal. At
the same time, it engages employees in a process to develop their thinking regarding the
issues.

3.2 Method

This method deals with three aspects of the issue.


1. Concerns — what is our current experience? What are our options? (This section
develops an understanding of the current situation and allows you to find your place
along a performance gradient.)
2. Goals — what would be the ideal? What areas need improvement? (This section
describes the ideal state and directs you toward excellence in performance.)
3. Implementation — what must be in place in the system to allow us to go forward?
What are the barriers preventing us from moving forward? (This section allows
determining the barriers that are going to hinder progress. These barriers can be items
such as mind-set/commitment, lack of will, motivation and work environment etc. It
also allows you to determine what is required to achieve progress and may involve
systems, procedures, personnel changes, time, or materials).

3.3 How to conduct objective setting meeting

The guidelines for using the method are:


1. Involving a number of relevant employees from the Department/Section in the analysis
because group participation challenges thinking, maximizes input, and minimizes
impact from preconceived notions.
2. Asking the correct questions so that information will be pertinent, relevant to the issue,
and will come from group knowledge rather than from an individual source.

3. Answering in specifics rather than generalities to avoid creating “motherhood”


responses that no one can argue with but that have no value for creating change or
getting to the real root of the problem.
4. Making maximum use of the group by allowing everyone to participate, recognizing
that everyone can make valuable contributions. Allowing others to speak their ideas
stimulates your own thinking and develops a common understanding. It also improves
everyone’s ability to communicate.
5. Recognizing the existing barriers to site implementation in order to improve the
current situation. Mental attitudes can also be barriers and must be dealt with
specifically.

3.4 Concepts

The goal or objective generated with this method should be expressed in the form of a
concept statement. A concept is important because it gives unity of direction to the
group, makes sure everyone is starting from the same base point, and facilitates
communication and action. If people working on a problem do not have a unified
concept, time and effort can be wasted.
A good concept statement takes the following form and is often called an “Excellence”
statement:
To (State what is to be done)
In a way that (Describe a specific method)
So that (Desired results are achieved)

The concept statement should fulfill the following criteria:


 Express irrefutable logic at any level of the organization
 Stimulate thinking
 Motivate people toward the desired behavior
 Contain an improvement gradient or potential

The concept for the first objective in the attached sample of objectives might be,
“To improve employee work practices in a way that emphasizes training and auditing so
that the frequency of unsafe acts continually diminishes”.

SECTION-6 PERFORMANCE INDICATORS


6.1 Background

The quest for excellence in safety--and, for improvement from one level of performance to
another-requires the perceptive use of metrics and focused communication about them.
With increasing focus on safety in all kinds of operations, the need for methods of
improvement has never been greater, and metrics certainly deserve some evaluation in
that context. All interfaces should study and use the following Metrics and
Measurement while establishing the yearly safety goals & objectives.

Metrics and Metrics and Measurements


Measurements Lagging Indicators
 Statistics: Injuries, illnesses, process releases, vehicle
accidents
 Costs: Disability, litigation, workers’ compensation, crop
compensation etc
 Regulatory citations and penalties
Current/Key Performance Indicators
 Unsafe acts indices; safety audit findings
 Incident investigation reporting and analysis
 Safety meeting attendance and quality
Leading Indicators
 Quality of safety observation/audit program
 Near-miss reporting and investigations
 Employee attitude surveys and perceptions

6.2 Lagging Indicators (Outputs or results)

Lagging indicators measure past efforts and the presence or absence of loss events
[Outputs]. They include the more traditional measures of safety, such as:
1. Injury and illness statistics
2. Process releases statistics
3. Vehicle accident statistics
4. Disability costs
5. Litigation costs

Revision: 02 Revision Date: October 2016

6. Workers’ compensation costs


7. Property compensation costs
8. Pollution Charges
9. Regulatory citations and penalties
10. Insurance clams
Lagging indicators represent an historical approach to safety. They serve as a report card,
revealing how well we have done in the past, where our problems have been, and past
trends in our safety performance.

6.3 Current/Key Performance Indicators (Mostly Outputs)

Current indicators measure the degree to which safety has been institutionalized and
management systems have been implemented. They provide a measure of potential loss
events. Some current indicators are:
1. Management Safety Audits/Safe and unsafe acts indices
2. Incident investigation reporting and analysis (IR)
3. Total Recordable Incidence Rate (TRIR)/ No. of 1st-aid cases.
4. Process Safety Total Incident Rate (PSTIR)
5. Safety audit findings
6. Occupational medical visits
7. Training records and effectiveness (Training effectiveness is sometimes considered a
Leading Indicator)
8. Action on past employee perception surveys
9. Attendance at and quality of safety meetings (Quality of safety meetings is sometimes
considered a Leading Indicator.)
10. Budgetary Controls
Current indicators tell us where we are now. They help us evaluate how well our
management systems are working, and they can also help predict potential losses over the
short-term.

6.4 Leading Indicators (Inputs)

Leading indicators measure proactive efforts (Inputs). These indicators can uncover
weaknesses before they develop into full-fledged problems.

6.5 How are these indicators developed?

Most leading indicators appear to arise from the ideas and discussions of the employees
who will be impacted by them, whether that is a work group, a site, or a job-specific team.
These indicators revolve around local responses to business goals, whether those goals are
financial, production, or cultural in nature. Whenever a local consensus group decides to
focus on a particular challenge, a performance area to sustain, or an area for improvement,
they think about risk factors, improvement markers, or milestones and they adapt these as
leading indicators. The leading indicator marks the process, thereby; giving it stature and
importance.
This pattern of spontaneous generation of leading indicators at the local level is broadly
perceived to be more effective than the imposition of leading indicators from an outside
source and, in particular, from corporate sources. Local buy-in to leading indicators is also
central to management response to these indicators; management is much more likely to
respond to local conditions and indicators than to indicators that are externally imposed
and may have little perceived relevance to local realities.
Leading indicators will never replace the conventional Lagging indicators of TRIR, LWIs,
and required incident reporting measures. But they do have an important role in the
pursuit of safety excellence: they track incremental steps to improvement, informing the
organization of its movement toward performance goals. In this way, they are a crucial
adjunct of lagging indicators.

6.6 Attributes of Effective Leading Indicators (LI)

Many safety performance parameters can be used as Leading Indicators but some are
better than others as tools to help improve performance. Characteristics of effective LIs in
managing safety are:
1. Simple, close correlation to the Outcome/Results
2. Objectively and reliably measurable
3. Different groups interpret it in the same way
4. Broadly applicable across Company operations
5. Easily and accurately communicated
6. Comparing desired performance with as aspect of actual performance (LI), generates
correction.
7. As per performance approaches the goal, required correction diminishes. But even
small deviations create corrective action, so performance is maintained at the desired
level.
8. The ability to achieve and maintain goal performance is determined by both the
effectiveness of the Process and the relationship of the Leading Indicators to the
Output/Result.
For effectiveness in improving safety performance, LI measurement and use should be
managed at the “local” level to monitor site specific issues.

6.7 How do leading indicators relate to continuous improvement

Leading indicators are a valuable addition to any safety effort. Used in conjunction with
broader corporate indicators, they offer both a sense of progress and a harvest of insights;
they reflect management's commitment and the work group's investment; and they allow
participants to link their own work with performance goals that once seemed distant and
impersonal.
Following are some examples of leading indicators:
1. Quality/Effectiveness of the audit program
2. Average number of persons observed on audits
3. % safe behaviors
4. % safety violations
5. Quality of root cause investigation
6. Analysis of process hazards reviews
7. Employee attitudes and perceptions
8. Quality and quantity of employee safety suggestions
9. Scope of the training plan
10. General agreement (minimal difference) between the findings of Safety Group field
audits and Operations’ Management Safety Audit findings
11. General improvement in the findings of Housekeeping audits, especially those
conducted outside the process equipment
12. Nearmiss reporting
13. Orientation effectiveness test for understanding.

14. Participation in safety related activities (meetings, audits, investigations)


15. Degree of sharing across site
Leading indicators are effective predictors of safety performance because they focus on
the types of issues that are key to successful safety performance—things like leadership,
involvement, and the beliefs of people.
All areas should examine the metrics by which they measure safety, and begin to develop
their own listing of Lagging, current, and leading indicators.
