Abstract
Many firms with world-class safety records have been frustrated by the inability to make step-change improvements in safety. Traditional monitoring of lagging indicators of safety performance has not achieved the desired step-change of improvement of construction safety. Many safety professionals believe that the careful selection and implementation of safety leading indicators will yield significant improvements in safety practices and performance. CII established Research Team 284 to investigate the potential of these critical project metrics.  The research concluded that leading indicators can be divided into two types:      Passive – safety strategies implemented before construction begins, to set the project up for success)     Active – safety-related practices or observations that can be measured during the construction phase, and which can trigger positive responses)        RT-284’s results confirmed a strong correlation between implementation of 10 key passive safety leading indicators and reduction in project TRIR. The research further identified 14 promising active safety metrics, and offers a process for successful implementation of an active safety indicator program in IR284-2, Implementing Active Leading Indicators.
