An online tool has been introduced
by EEF to help company directors
manage health and safety. The tool
has been backed by the HSE and is
free to access online at:
www.eef.org.uk/scorecard.
Sponsored by Travelers, a property and liability insurer, it has been developed in response to increasing survey evidence from company boards of the need for pragmatic help in setting and monitoring KPI's.
It identifies a mix of measures that reflect a company's past performance, and how prepared it is to manage risks and comply with legislation in the future. Straightforward traffic light reporting enables directors to focus attention where it's most needed.
The scorecard includes step-bystep guidance, worked examples and benchmark statistics as well as a proforma report that can be downloaded.
Geoffrey Podger, HSE chief executive, says: "Getting health and safety right in the work place starts with a commitment from those at the top. This tool assists senior management to do it in a straightforward, practical way, helping them set a range of meaningful targets on the key risks the organisation faces and allowing progress to be measured and reviewed."
