Applying Leading & Lagging Indicator Data to Safety

Tracking both lagging and leading indicators will help create a continuous safety improvement system. The key is to go beyond selecting and tracking these indicators but to apply the information to achieve improvement.

Overtime improvement in lagging indicators stalls. Avoid this issue by applying your data to improve safety on an ongoing basis.
