Note:
This calculator helps measure leading safety indicators by calculating the **Proactive Safety Rate (PSR)** over a given time period.
Leading safety indicators are **preventive measures** that help identify and mitigate potential hazards **before** an incident occurs.
How to Use This Calculator:
- Select Indicator Type: Choose from **inspections, trainings, or hazard reports**. These indicators reflect the proactive steps taken to ensure workplace safety.
- Enter Number of Actions: Input the total number of safety-related actions performed during the selected period (e.g., number of inspections completed, trainings conducted, or hazards reported).
- Choose Time Period: Select whether the time frame is measured in **days, months, or years**. This helps normalize the data for better analysis.
- Click "Calculate Safety Rate": The result will show the **rate of safety actions per selected time period**, allowing organizations to assess and improve their proactive safety efforts.
Why Tracking Leading Safety Indicators is Important:
- Helps prevent accidents and injuries by identifying potential hazards **before** they lead to incidents.
- Encourages a **proactive safety culture** rather than a reactive approach.
- Provides **measurable data** that can be used for improving safety programs and compliance.
- Enhances **employee engagement** by showing a commitment to workplace safety.
- Reduces costs associated with workplace injuries, insurance claims, and lost productivity.
Examples of Leading Safety Indicators:
- Number of **safety inspections** conducted per month.
- Number of **employees trained** in safety procedures.
- Number of **hazards reported** and addressed before incidents occur.
- Frequency of **safety meetings and toolbox talks**.
- Percentage of **corrective actions completed on time**.
**Tracking and improving these indicators** ensures a safer, more efficient workplace while reducing risks and liabilities.
Consistent monitoring allows organizations to take corrective actions **before** safety issues become critical.
