When monitoring the rate at which specific types of events occur as an indicator of performance, without the application of normalization techniques, changes in mission, work load, etc., far outweigh the effect of changes in safety management practice.

If the activities are hazardous, these sources of financial support may need to be convinced that their financial risks are held to acceptable levels by evidence of effective safety management, which thereby makes it necessary for companies to develop and implement codes of conduct and safety management practices that adhere to industrial standards and comply with government regulations. ...
