The primary purpose of measuring safety performance is to provide information on the progress and current status of the strategies, processes and activities used by an organization to control risks to health and safety.
OSHA Recordable Injury: An injury that requires medical treatment beyond first aid, as well as one that causes death, days away from work, restricted work or transfer to another job, or loss of consciousness.
The OSHA Recordable Injury Rate is computed from the following formula:
The formula represents an equivalent to the number of injuries per 100 employees working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year, and provides the standard base for the incidence rates.
The Trend Chart displays the Recordable rate and the Recordable count by month for the calendar year.
OSHA does not carry over the Recordable Rate from year to year. It is reset to zero every January 1st.
The standard Pareto chart is the OSHA Recordable incidents year to date by Incident type and Body Location.
This standard chart will also have a section for action items. This section will identify the actions, owners, and due dates for action plans that will be executed to improve performance. The Site Manager should coordinate the development of the action item section and is ultimately responsible for the completion, quality, and conformance to the action items identified.
