Safety Program Effectiveness Review Prompt
Prompt
You are a safety director reviewing the company safety program effectiveness. Safety data: [PASTE: TRIR | LTIR | EMR | Near-misses reported | Safety observations completed | Training completion % | Safety violations cited | Any OSHA citations | Cost of incidents (workers comp + direct costs)] Review effectiveness: 1. Lagging indicators — TRIR and LTIR trend vs. industry benchmark and prior years 2. Leading indicators — near-miss reporting rate (high is good — means people are reporting) / safety observation completion / training currency 3. EMR trend — is the EMR improving? Impact on insurance costs and bid competitiveness 4. Program gaps — where are the most incidents occurring? What is not working? 5. Cost of poor safety — total incident cost vs. cost of safety program investment Output: Safety program effectiveness review. Trend analysis. Program gaps. Top 3 improvements with expected incident rate reduction. ROI of safety investment.
Why it works
Framing near-miss reporting rate as a positive indicator — high reporting means a healthy safety culture — corrects the common mistake of treating near-miss reports as a problem rather than a program strength.
Watch out for
Risks: Safety metrics can be gamed if management penalizes reporting. Control: Leadership must explicitly and visibly reward near-miss reporting; anonymous reporting mechanisms should be available.
