Results of measurements

Wherever possible, objective measures of results should be developed to evaluate whether specific minimum performance requirements have been met or to show progress over time in the achievement of organic criteria in the field of biodiversity conservation. This is a new area to explore for the organics industry. 

Experimental units Experimented units are the objects or entities that are used for application of treatments and measurements of resulting effects. 

With occupational safety measurement is fairly simple recordables and other statistics provide a reliable indication of how a company is doing and how it compares to others. The measurement of results with regard to Process Safety is much more tricky. But the measurement problem is even more severe when it comes to the topic of culture. In particular it is very difficult to assess people are people issues. For example, one of the reports that was written following the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe (BOEMRE, 2011) records in some detail the tension that existed between two of the managers and publishes some of the emails that were sent prior to the event. These clashes illustrate the difficulties of implementing a positive culture, particularly when personalities clash or department managers are squabbling with one another.

There are various ways to measure the resuits of work being done to prevent accidents. The effects of having an accident include, for example, injuries, iiinesses, anguish suffering, financial losses, increased insurance costs, poor productivity, absenteeism, production deiays, high labor costs, machinery downtime, and poor community image. Two types of measurements of results are commonly used. The first, and by far the most common, tracks accident frequency and severity rates. The... 

There are many good reasons for using accident frequency and severity rates. As mentioned earher, these measurements of results are part of any effective safety management program. When accident frequency and severity rates are properly used, they can lead to an increased commitment to preventing accidents. Several of the most obvious benefits of frequency and severity rates are ... 

Another measurement of results takes a look at attitudes. Attitudes about safety, to a certain extent, result from the efforts the site puts into preventing accidents.
