Description

This user guide provides an overview of what leading indicators are, and how and why they might be applied to strengthen your organization’s health and safety culture and performance. Some leading indicators may be more effective than others, depending on an organization’s current level of OHS performance. For that reason, the user guide considers three categories of OHS performance: those that are focused on maintaining compliance with Alberta legislation, those looking for improvement (beyond compliance), and those in pursuit of continuous learning for the highest levels of performance. A tool is provided to help establish which category best describes your organization’s current OHS performance level, as well as sample leading indicators for each performance category — for your consideration.
