Measurement and Evaluation

Often a company will want to evaluate how well their safety management system is performing. They need to discern if the management system is improving the safety culture of the company. In order to evaluate if the safety performance is improving, a company needs some measured data to analyze. On a very frequent basis, it is imperative that measurement and evaluation take place in any management system. Such evaluation, in a safety and health management system, will often take the form of trend analysis from either incident data or audit findings.
