OSHA and the National Safety Council are seeking input on how safety and health metrics can be used more effectively to prevent workplace injuries and illness.
The agency has contracted NSC to conduct a survey of businesses and organizations nationwide to gain insight into the current use of such metrics, with a special emphasis on leading indicators. Data collected will be used to develop a leading indicators resource for employers.
Respondents have the option to receive a summary of the survey results, as well as other study findings that can help improve use of workplace safety and health metrics.
Responses will be kept confidential. Only researchers at NSC will have access to the data collected. All findings will be reported in aggregate form, and individual survey respondents or their employers will never be identified in any report or communication.
The deadline to complete the survey is Jan. 31.
