Introduction

This course develops the ability to design and use safety performance metrics that support sound decisions rather than superficial reporting.

Objectives

  • Link safety measures to strategy, risk and control objectives.
  • Distinguish activity, control, outcome and impact indicators.
  • Calculate and interpret recognised lagging measures responsibly.
  • Design leading indicators for critical-control effectiveness.
  • Assess data quality, definitions, exposure bases and bias.
  • Apply trend, rate and comparative analysis appropriately.
  • Build decision-focused dashboards and management reports.
  • Establish KPI ownership, review and continuous improvement.
