Performance TargetsRoSPA encourages all organisations to report on their Health and Safety performance in an open and transparent way. Visit www.gopop.org.uk to read the RoSPA Report on Going Public on Performance and other related resources. ‘Targets for Change’
After consultation with a range of health and safety professionals in high performing companies and key player organisations, RoSPA has developed new consensus guidance, ‘ Targets for Change ’ which explores good practice in setting corporate health and safety improvement targets. It follows on from the Society’s recent work on DASH (Director Action on Safety and Health) which led to the production of a consensus report entitled ‘Measuring and Reporting on Corporate Health and Safety Performance: Towards Best Practice’. The aim of the guidance is to help individual (or parts of) organisations to think through the issues involved in setting their own internal targets for performance improvement and thereby to help contribute to achievement of the headline and sector targets which have been set as part of the Health and Safety Commission’s strategies for ‘Revitalising Health and Safety’ and ‘Securing Health Together’. The guidance, which has received support from senior figures involved with health and safety, is intended as a contribution to on-going debate about health and safety performance. Since the first draft was presented for consultation, HSE have produced further web-based guidance including ‘A guide to Measuring Health and Safety Performance’ accessible at: www.hse.gov.uk/opsunit/perfmeas.pdf RoSPA would welcome feedback on the guidance and would be grateful if you could draw it to the attention of colleagues and include reference to it in appropriate publications and other communications.
