Upper Management Performance Measurements

While we begin to emphasize results performance measurements more at the middle management level, some performance measurements 

Positive or coached (safe/at-risk behavior) Sessions A 

As we discussed, it is important to note that the supervisor and middle management performance should be different, necessitating some changes in the measurements used at this level. Normally, we want the middle managers to get their supervisors to do something in safety. Thus, we can measure managers to see if they meet with their supervisors and review activities or monitor the quality of the supervisors work [2].

In selecting measuring devices, a firm should use only activity measures at the lower managerial or unit levels, primarily activity measures (with some results measures) at the middle-upper management levels, and pure results measures for the executive level (Peterson, p. 40). The safety performance measures should be geared toward the employee s responsibilities and objectives. Employees at the supervisory and middle management level are focused on motivating employees to perform. Safety perfor-... 

Critical operating parameter (COP) Many facilities try to put special focus on COP and scrutinize control measures for these. What is COP Each piece of equipment, process, and procedure has lower and upper performance limits and the operation shall be limited within this boundary to avoid accidents. Whenever a control is designed, for example, it should meet the performance requirement (say 50—100%). Operation range below 50% and above 100% performance is not guaranteed. So, it is necessary see that these limits corresponding to each COP are not exceeded. The role of control measure in relation to COP is clear from Fig. 11/4.5.4-2. The critical control parameter needs to be monitored and managed continuously for the process where immediate and continuous response from the operator is necessary.
