摘要: The Australian construction industry has traditionally relied on 'lagging' indicators of health and safety performance. Lagging indicators, including lost time injury rates, are limited in usefulness because they rely after the fact recording statistically low probability events. They subject to random variation, which can provoke 'knee jerk' reactions immediately following a reportable incident encourage management complacency when no incidents have occurred for period time. An update is provided development multi-level measurement method, combines 'leading' performance climate measures. It argued that leading measures (in combination with lagging indicators) provide more comprehensive analysis industry. opportunities internal (between project) external organization) benchmarking discussed.
