SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00132 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 51639 I. Background Many employers track their injury or illness rates using lagging indicators. Lagging indicators are useful because they can alert an employer to a safety and health program failure that may be causing injuries or illnesses. Unfortunately, lagging indicators do not reveal hazards until after an injury or illness occurs. Therefore, employers should also consider using leading indicators. Leading indicators are proactive, preventive, and predictive measures. A good safety and health program uses leading indicators to drive change and lagging indicators to measure effectiveness. The agency has published a guidance document that provides an overview of leading indicators and illustrates a systematic method for using leading indicators. II. Questions for Consideration To elicit feedback on these issues, OSHA is requesting comment from interested parties regarding the following questions. Case studies, real world examples, and any data to support the responses is encouraged. • To what extent are leading indicators used in your workplace? • Do you use leading indicators as a preventative tool for fixing workplace hazards, or as a tool for improving performance of your safety and health program? • What leading indicators are most important in your workplace? Why were these indicators chosen? • How do you determine the effectiveness of your leading indicators? How do you track your leading indicators? • What leading indicators are, or could be, commonly used in your industry? • What challenges, if any, have you encountered using leading indicators? • How many employees are at your facility, and how many are involved in tracking leading indicators? • How has the use of leading indicators changed the way you manage your safety and health program or other business operations? • What should OSHA do to encourage employers to use leading indicators in addition to lagging indicators to improve safety management? III. Meeting Format The meeting will be a roundtable discussion of the questions posed by OSHA. Participants should focus on answering the questions provided in this notice. OSHA expects this to be a facilitated group discussion. Written comments may be provided to OSHA at E:\FR\FM\30SEN1.SGM 30SEN1
