Data Analytics
Capturing incident data electronically in one place allows for detailed analysis
to spot trends and gaps within your safety program over time. Perhaps
an employee wouldn't have needed stitches in his hand if there was more
emphasis on the Personal Protective Equipment – Hand Protection from
Cuts/Scrapes Toolbox Talk. Seeing real-time data across all of your projects
highlights that these incidents may be on the rise. This kind of information
makes you aware that the Education component of your safety program needs
to be reinforced.
If you consistently experience falls at your jobs, you may need to adjust
your inspection process to require additional guard rails or other safety
barriers. Tracking all of this information in safety analytics dashboards
easily help you decide what corrective action to take to ensure incidents
don't happen again. By monitoring these dashboards on a consistent basis,
companies can evaluate and evolve each component of their safety program
through data-driven decisions.
