The new standard goes a step beyond the baseline and uses three sets of metrics.
Organizations typically measure safety and health performance by tracking incidents after the fact with lagging metrics, according to the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP). In an effort designed to improve that method, ASSP has published a voluntary national consensus standard that outlines a balanced measurement approach, using leading, lagging, and impact metrics. The new standard can help organizations prevent injuries, illnesses, and many other incidents from occurring in the first place, according to the group.
