  Have You Taken the Safety Benchmarking Survey? There’s Still Time!

  Posted by Leslie Cook (Adm) on February 8, 2023 at 10:19 am

  Hello UAI Members,

  There’s still time to take the Safety Analytics Benchmarking Survey! Please find more details about the Benchmarking below.

  • Take the poll before February 28, 2023!
    • Before taking the poll, review it with your team via the PDF document attached. This will help you understand what you need to collect for the poll before taking it.
    • Direct link to poll: https://www.menti.com/alrvcrrb93ha, or
    • Go to http://www.Menti.com and use code 3686 7286
    • We will review results of the poll during our February and March 2023 Safety Analytics Community Conversations
  • We currently have 11 member responses to the survey! We would LOVE to get 30 total responses. 
  • Benchmarking project is being led by the Safety Analytics Community Leadership Team (UAI Utility Members)
  • What is the problem we are trying to solve?
    • Recordable incident rate (RIR) is easy to track, but it has flaws. We are looking for a better alternative to help track Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIF) and/or PSIF (Potential Serious Injuries and Fatalities). We want to find a better way to measure safety performance that is a better indicator of  SIF and PSIF.
    • We think the alternative is the EEI SCL definition, but we want to explore options with the members of the Safety Analytics Community.
    • We want to have uniformity across our utilities, so we are measuring the same things in the same ways, and we want to do this through a dialogue with the UAI Safety Analytics Community members.
  • To help you complete the poll, collect the following data before starting the poll. All of the below info is available on the OSHA 300A log.
    • Number of Recordable Injuries
    • Number of DART Injuries
    • Total Work Hours
    • Total Number of DART Days
    • The OSHA 300A log must be filed yearly for the previous year by February 1.  An OSHA 300A is normally done for a specific location.  Enterprises with multiple locations will have multiple 300A forms.  Many enterprises combine all of their location data into a single 300A.  This document will cover the entire enterprise and will contain all of the necessary data.
  • Next steps after this poll:
    • Identify the top 3-5 safety metrics used, in addition to RIR, and capture members’ results for 2022 to benchmark.
    • Work together to identify a better alternative than RIR to track Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIF) and/or Potential Serious Injuries and Fatalities (PSIF).
    • Once a better alternative metric to RIR is identified, capture members’ results annually to benchmark (annually on February 1).

  If you have any questions about the project, please reach out to me, @Leslie, at lcook@utilityanalytics.com.

  Thanks so much!
