Which of the following is NOT a common type of safety metric?

  1. Incident rate

  2. Lost time injury rate

  3. Near miss reporting

  4. Customer satisfaction


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Customer satisfaction is not a direct measure of safety performance and is typically not included in safety metrics.

The purpose of measuring safety performance is to:

  1. Identify areas for improvement

  2. Comply with regulatory requirements

  3. Demonstrate due diligence

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Measuring safety performance serves multiple purposes, including identifying areas for improvement, complying with regulatory requirements, and demonstrating due diligence.

Which of the following is NOT a method for measuring safety performance?

  1. Incident investigation

  2. Root cause analysis

  3. Benchmarking

  4. Employee surveys


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Employee surveys are not typically used as a direct measure of safety performance, although they can provide valuable insights into safety culture and employee perceptions of safety.

Data analysis is an important aspect of safety metrics and performance measurement because it allows organizations to:

  1. Identify trends and patterns

  2. Evaluate the effectiveness of safety interventions

  3. Set realistic safety goals

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Data analysis enables organizations to identify trends and patterns, evaluate the effectiveness of safety interventions, and set realistic safety goals.

Continuous improvement is essential in safety metrics and performance measurement because it allows organizations to:

  1. Adapt to changing conditions

  2. Learn from past mistakes

  3. Incorporate new technologies and best practices

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Continuous improvement enables organizations to adapt to changing conditions, learn from past mistakes, and incorporate new technologies and best practices.

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of using safety metrics and performance measurement?

  1. Improved safety culture

  2. Reduced costs

  3. Increased productivity

  4. Increased regulatory compliance


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

While safety metrics and performance measurement can contribute to increased regulatory compliance, it is not a direct benefit but rather a consequence of effective safety management.

The DuPont Safety Pyramid is a model that illustrates the relationship between:

  1. Safety incidents and injuries

  2. Safety culture and safety performance

  3. Leading and lagging indicators

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The DuPont Safety Pyramid illustrates the relationship between safety incidents and injuries, safety culture and safety performance, and leading and lagging indicators.

Leading indicators in safety metrics and performance measurement are:

  1. Predictive measures of safety performance

  2. Measures of actual safety incidents and injuries

  3. Measures of safety culture and employee engagement

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Leading indicators are predictive measures of safety performance that can help organizations identify potential hazards and intervene before incidents occur.

Lagging indicators in safety metrics and performance measurement are:

  1. Measures of actual safety incidents and injuries

  2. Predictive measures of safety performance

  3. Measures of safety culture and employee engagement

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Lagging indicators are measures of actual safety incidents and injuries that provide insights into the effectiveness of safety interventions and overall safety performance.

The Heinrich Triangle is a model that illustrates the relationship between:

  1. Safety incidents and injuries

  2. Safety culture and safety performance

  3. Leading and lagging indicators

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Heinrich Triangle illustrates the relationship between different types of safety incidents and injuries, including minor injuries, serious injuries, and fatalities.

The Bird-Heinrich Triangle is a model that illustrates the relationship between:

  1. Safety incidents and injuries

  2. Safety culture and safety performance

  3. Leading and lagging indicators

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Bird-Heinrich Triangle is an extension of the Heinrich Triangle that includes near misses and unsafe acts as precursors to safety incidents and injuries.

The Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) is a safety metric that measures the:

  1. Number of recordable injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers

  2. Number of lost time injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers

  3. Number of fatalities per 100 full-time workers

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) measures the number of recordable injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers.

The Lost Time Injury Rate (LTIR) is a safety metric that measures the:

  1. Number of recordable injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers

  2. Number of lost time injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers

  3. Number of fatalities per 100 full-time workers

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The Lost Time Injury Rate (LTIR) measures the number of lost time injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers.

The Fatality Rate is a safety metric that measures the:

  1. Number of recordable injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers

  2. Number of lost time injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers

  3. Number of fatalities per 100 full-time workers

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The Fatality Rate measures the number of fatalities per 100 full-time workers.

The Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred (DART) Rate is a safety metric that measures the:

  1. Number of days lost due to injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers

  2. Number of days restricted or transferred due to injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers

  3. Number of days away from work due to injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred (DART) Rate measures the number of days lost, restricted, or transferred due to injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers.
