A capacity index to replace flawed incident‐based metrics for worker safety

The shortcomings of incident-based metrics for worker safety such as total recordable incident frequency rate (TRIFR) are well documented. In particular, a low TRIFR is no assurance against legal liability. There considerable overlap between the literature on presence capacities to make things go well, and jurisprudence in labour workplace law employer due diligence. this article, authors propose an index that merges two, measuring acquire maintain knowledge, understand nature operations, resource safety, respond risks, demonstrate engagement compliance, assurance.
