What is the traditional method used to measure safety performance?

The traditional method used to measure safety performance primarily involves reviewing accident and injury statistics. This approach provides a clear and quantitative view of how well safety protocols are being followed and the effectiveness of safety measures in place. By analyzing data on accidents and injuries, organizations can identify trends, recognize areas needing improvement, and evaluate their overall safety culture.

Measuring safety performance through accident and injury statistics allows organizations to evaluate the impact of their safety programs over time. It highlights the direct consequences of workplace safety practices and demonstrates the results of safety training, equipment maintenance, and enforcement of protocols. In contrast, the other options focus on inputs or methodologies rather than outcomes, making them less effective for measuring overall safety performance. While they contribute to a safer work environment, they do not provide the same level of insight into the effectiveness of safety measures as reviewing accident and injury statistics.
