Safety Performance Indicator – ICAO Definition
ICAO defines safety performance indicator as ‘a data-based safety parameter used for monitoring and assessing performance’ and safety performance target as ‘the planned or intended objective for safety performance indicator(s) over a given period.’
Safety Performance Indicator – Classification
Safety performance indicators (SPIs) can be ‘classified’ in accordance with specific features and different classifications are commonly used in different areas.
Lagging indicator consist of Metrics that measure safety events that have already occurred (Including those unwanted safety events you are trying to prevent)
Leading indicator ‘Metrics that provide information on the current situation that may affect future performance’.
How to Measure Safety Performance
Essentially when the resulting output cannot be directly measured, the underlying systems and processes need to be validated instead.
Effective safety management requires both understanding and strong management of your system and processes. Selecting safety performance indicators that consider relevant indicators which ensure the capabilities for safety management can be properly evaluated and improved.
The management of safety relies on the capabilities of your organization to systematically anticipate, monitor, and further develop your organizational performance to ensure safe outcomes of your activities.
