A leading indicator example is the morning stretch programs or safety meetings that promote a proactive approach to a safer workplace. •
A lagging indicator example is workers’ compensation experience modification rates (EMR), which measure past safety performance. 3) What percentage of superintendent review metrics are based on leading indicator data? Why is this important? According to Della-Giustina, 70% of their superintendent review metrics are based on leading indicator data. This is important because it reflects the proactive safety measures superintendents can control, rather than just the outcomes that could be influenced by luck or other uncontrollable factors. 4) What is the intent of “Safety Bob” as part of the company’s safety program? "Safety Bob" is a caricature based on Bob Overhoff used on various safety materials to make safety training more engaging and memorable. Employees can earn Safety Bob hardhat stickers and t-shirts, which helps to foster a safety-conscious environment in a fun and approachable way. 5) What were three positive impacts of a company that had a strong safety program according to the article?

Superintendents are incentivized through their annual employee reviews, where safety performance is a significant factor. Poor safety performance can negatively impact their raises, thus incentivizing them to prioritize safety. 7) How are subcontractors safety elements reviewed? Subcontractors’ safety elements are reviewed through a prequalification process that looks at both lagging and leading safety indicators. Consigli uses a formula to come up with a safety score, and subcontractors scoring below a certain threshold may have to meet additional safety requirements.
