2019 Trend Analysis Report

The purpose of this trend analysis report is to provide unit leadership at all levels historical data to assist in risk and hazard
reduction strategy development. By providing both leading and lagging indicators, each section should use this information

as they develop their 2020 Risk Mitigation Plans.

Printed: 3 January 2020.

What is a Lagging Indicator?
Lagging indicators are measurements that include data from the past. They include incidents and
accidents statistics. These figures are the bottom-line numbers that evaluate the overall
effectiveness of safety within a company. They will inform you of how many employees were injured
and how seriously. These statistics are reactive, meaning it is information gathered after a mishap.
Examples of “Lagging Indicators” include:

 Injury frequency and severity
 Lost work days
 Light duty days
 Property damage dollar cost

While it is completely necessary to record lagging indicators, they do however have their drawbacks.
They will only give you information on how many employees were injured and how severely. They
won’t however, tell you how well your company is performing when it comes to preventing accidents
and incidents. They measure failure, not performance.

What is a Leading Indicator?
A leading indicator is proactive in nature. They include safety initiatives or reported activities, with
the goal of preventing unfavourable events before they happen. Leading Indicators can include:

 Safety Training / Comprehension
 Safety Audits
 Established budget to support safety requirements
 Measurable employee participation
 Employee involvement in PPE inspection, inventory & upkeep
 Safety Awards Program
 Work Center Self Inspections
 Hazard Reporting
 Risk Assessments

Leading indicators are those things that happen throughout the workforce to prevent injuries and
increase a healthy and safe workplace. These will help to improve safety through awareness and
prevention and will show stakeholders that the unit is taking proactive steps to achieve excellence in
safety.
