Understand where traditional safety metrics add value — and where they can leave critical gaps in operational readiness. Traditional safety metrics remain essential for reporting and benchmarking. But in a more complex operating environment, they do not tell safety leaders everything they need to know about whether people, suppliers and worksites are ready for what comes next. That is the focus of Avetta’s new white paper, Understanding the Role and Limits of Lagging Metrics. The first paper in a two-part series on the evolution of health and safety measurement, it examines the value of established measures such as TRIR, DART and EMR – and the blind spots they can create when treated as a complete picture of safety performance.
