Once targeted solutions have been implemented, you need to be sure that the desired effect is being achieved. It's common knowledge that "what gets measured gets managed." The Safety Performance Management System (SPMS) Measurement Phase includes a process for the collection and incorporation of feedback related to intervention strategies. Such a process is essential to ensure continual organizational safety performance improvement.

The SPMS process includes:                                                

• Use of interviews, focus groups, and employee surveys to measure effectiveness of balance between efficiency and safety.
• The development of measures to allow continued monitoring and self-assessment.
• Development and maintenance of database for trending and tracking performance measures related to safety.

• Are you going where you want to go?
• What do you need to do to get where you want to be?
