Establish improved health & safety performance measurements

Health & Safety Performance Index

CRL Ltd monitors 26 individual H&S performance indicators which cover all activities from design through to commissioning that are critical for the project to effectively manage potential H&S risks.

Proactive or 'leading' indicators, like heavy goods vehicle safety checks, are also recorded along with reactive or 'lagging' measures such as near misses. Monitoring creates a detailed and accurate picture of the project's H&S performance.

To manage the large amounts of H&S data and identify key trends, CRL Ltd developed a H&S Performance Index (HSPI). The HSPI categorises each indicator against the H&S management system and assigns weighting based on how critical that activity is for the management of risk. A score is then produced that illustrates how well the project has performed against pre-determined targets.

The HSPI has produced an accurate picture of H&S performance which can be easily communicated to stakeholders as well as to workers and site team leaders. CRL Ltd and its construction partners have met and exceeded the monthly performance target index of 80 during the year.

CRL Ltd also tracks injury frequency rates such as the Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) for external benchmarking purposes.
