SHE performance indicators based on near-accident reporting

1 SHE performance indicators based on near-accident reporting 

A high or increased rate of incidents with high potential is an alarm bell, indicating the possibility of an increased risk of large losses. High-potential incidents include those incidents with the potential of resulting in severe injury or fatality. They are usually more difficult to hide, which means that we can expect an adequate reporting reliability in most cases. 

The high-potential incident rate may be used directly as a SHE performance indicator. The control chart approach is here applicable, where the number of incidents per period is plotted for consecutive periods. The control limits are determined as + -ly. (mean number of incidents per period). 

High-potential incident rate Incident/LTI ratio 

Number of incidents (near accidents) per period Number of incidents with grade 3-5 per period, see Table 6.4
