How to better track and manage total injury frequency data

Good safety data like total recordable injury frequency rates have been buried in word docs, PDFs and spreadsheets for many years.

Companies have always been pretty good at documenting most major safety mishaps and incidents, but it's been in the management of this data that companies have really struggled - and where safety improvements have been stifled.

The main difficulty with measures like TRIFR is that they are largely management level statistics, and yet all of the data and information is collected directly on site.

So if a company doesn't have good pipes to feed all of this information through - or if workers fail to collect the data due to time and resource constraints amongst other things - then it's impossible to accurately measure TRIFR and plenty of other important safety numbers.

Luckily today, there are far better ways for companies to manage and collaborate on all of this information - most of which have been enabled through technology advances.

If you are interested in seeing how safety data can be better managed all the way through from the site to the office, then take a look at our dedicated safety tool Dashpivot.

It helps with TRIFR calculations, and those every day safety jobs as well.
