  March 2021 Safety Analytics Community Follow Up + What’s Next

  Posted by Kevin Praet (Adm) on March 29, 2021 at 3:11 am

  Hello Safety Analytics Community Members,

  Thank you to everyone who attended our Safety Analytics meeting last week! For those unable to attend, we were joined by Community Sponsor Ankush Agarwal, Director of T&D Analytics at Exelon Utilities, who facilitated our March “Solve My Problem” exercise. During this meeting community members participated in a polling exercise where they explored possible solutions to the following problems:

  Problem #1: Data Governance challenges

  •How do you handle getting access to data within your utility?

  •How do you manage data quality and data completeness, and how are you keeping your data clean and storing data?

  •Has your data been digitized and connected? What data capturing systems/apps are you using? How are you managing

  them?

  Problem #2: People/Culture challenges

  •What are your recommendations for getting top down buy in? How are you handling the adoption of leveraging data,

  analysis and qualifying data, and personnel accountability within your utility?

  •How are you handling “change management” around the adoption of safety analytics and going fully digital? i.e., a

  culture change to provide data using technology and helping field crews to fully embrace digital, so things don’t seem

  ‘big brother’ or pointing out flaws rather than opportunities for

  •How do you handle time management, i.e., our safety department is small and getting to the next level of safety

  analytics will be slow as people wear many hats and don’t have much time to dedicate solely to analytics? How do you

  make sure safety analytics are user friendly, understandable and useful for consumers (safety managers, etc.)?

  Problem #3: Leading/lagging Indicators for Safety Performance and Safety Observation Data

  •What leading indicators are being used in conjunction with lagging indicators to give an overall picture of safety

  performance?

            •How is safety observation data being utilized?
