Performance Management and Measurement

800_9417

From the Strategy: Workplace safety has historically been measured, almost exclusively, by when it fails – injuries and lives lost on the job, or time lost to work-related injury. These lagging indicators are important and will continue to be measured, but new tools are needed to help Nova Scotia workers and employers determine if they are doing the right things to keep workers safe.
