One of the things we as Safety Professionals use to gauge our work is our own incident rates. The formula is not that hard to figure out, but once you get the number, how do you know how well you are doing?
The best way is to compare it to other companies in the same type business. Trying to find information on a specific competitor can be a difficult thing, but comparing it within your industry is relatively easy. (see below)
Keeping a low incident rate is not only important to the safety of our employees, but it also helps alot in the bidding process. When a GC is contemplating on who they want to isssue work out to, they look at lots of numbers, including the incident rate. Why hire a company who has a terrible IR that reflects a terrible safety program, putting the project in a bad media spotlight??
