1. Introduction
Increased emphasis is placed on the need fororganisations to use leading indicators or positiveperformance measures rather than solely focusing onlagging indicators such as lost time injury frequencyrate (LTIFR), fatality frequency rate (FFR) anddisabling injury frequency rate (DIFR).
The use of positive performance measures (PPMs) inoccupational health and safety is focused on usingthese measures to improve safety performance by
promoting action to correct potential weaknesseswithout waiting for demonstrated failures.
To encourage increased use of PPMs, this guide hasbeen put together to provide:
• practical assistance on why and how PPMs shouldbe implemented;
• practical instruction on data collection andmeasurement; and
• implementation tools for the selection and useof PPMs.
The guide does not provide a definitive list of PPMs thatwill be suitable for all businesses within the mineralsindustry, nor is it a simple checklist for measuring healthand safety management. Rather this guide:
• explains that the selection of PPMs is flexible andopen to review and change; and
• focuses on assessing how successfully a work siteis performing by monitoring processes, whichproduce good health and safety outcomes.

A leading indicator is somethingthat provides information thathelps the user respond tochanging circumstances and takeactions to achieve desiredoutcomes or avoid unwantedoutcomes1.

Positive performance measures are part of a processto guide actions that will improve future performancewithin an organisation. Given the vast differencesbetween organisations and work sites it is not possibleto establish:
• a generic or standard set of positive performancemeasures that will apply to the entire mineralsindustry; or
• a set of positive performance measures that willbe relevant to an organisation indefinitely.
Relevant measures will vary depending on theworkplace structure, size, risk and existingoccupational health and safety practices.
2.1 Why should the minerals andresources industry adopt positiveperformance measures?The use of lagging indicators in isolation is not a reliableand/or an accurate measurement of occupational healthand safety (OHS) performance. A wider range of OHSmeasurement is needed.
Positive performance measures are:
• an essential planning and measurement tool forachieving improved health and safety performance;
• a key step in any management process, formingthe basis of continual improvement in anorganisation’s OHS risk control mechanisms; and
• an objective measurement of total operationalperformance.
2.2 What is the purpose of positiveperformance measures?They can achieve this through:
• providing information that helps the user to takeactions to achieve desired outcomes or avoidunwanted outcomes;
• enhancing an organisation’s ability to objectivelyrecognise areas of deterioration, poor performanceand/or underdevelopment in their OHS practices;
• providing information on the progress andcurrent status of the strategies, processes andactivities used by worksites to address health andsafety risks; and
• allowing for periodical monitoring of progressand review of objectives to identify if targets arebeing met.
2. Positive Performance Measures in the Minerals and Resources Industry
C M E G U I D E T O P O S I T I V E P E R F O R M A N C E M E A S U R E M E N T 3
Each workplace needs to identifywhere there are potentialweaknesses or opportunities forimprovement within thatparticular workplace and identifya limited number of PPMs toaddress these.
The purpose of identifying andusing PPMs is to assist work sitesimprove their health and safetyperformance.
The Minerals Council of Australia2 have previouslydefined these three types of positive performancemeasures as:-
• input or activity measures;
• process or focus area type measures; and
• output or action plan type measures.
3.1 Input (Activity Measures)This style of indicator measures inputs that can becounted or measured and is described numerically.For example the:
• number of JSAs written
• percentage of safety training performed
• number of safety meetings
• number of audits performed
• number of inspections completed
• percentage of job descriptions with OHSrequirements documented.
Input measures are of value as long as there is a directrelationship between the input and the resulting out-come. This may not be so easy to demonstrate, and inmany cases amounts to measuring ACTIVITY in safety.
3.2 Process (Focus Measures) This style measures the indicator within the process.It focuses on the predominant types of injuries andmonitors the practices and behaviours.
In the example in Table 1 the predominant injury aresprains and strains. The risk controls introduced weremanual handling training for operators and riskassessment with several controls to mitigate risk. Todetermine the effectiveness of the introduced riskcontrols it is necessary to monitor work practices andbehaviours associated with the task to determine acause and effect relationship. Where a reduction in theprecursors of significant strains/sprains (back, shoulderinjuries) can be demonstrated an indicator isestablished that identifies risk control measures arehaving an effect.
The key with process measures is to focus on keydrivers or contributors to the outcome of concern andit must be directly related in a cause effectrelationship. Employee behaviours and taskobservations can be useful indicators of how well risksare perceived and controlled.
3. Types of Positive Performance Measurements
2.3 What can be achieved by usingpositive performance measures?The use of PPMs will lead to: -
• Increased OHS activity and an improved healthand safety culture that is encouraged bymanagement and supported by the workforce.
• Efficient implementation of corrective actionitems which creates a new found interest andraised awareness in OHS.
• Health and safety plans being discussed by alllevels of the workforce allowing for greaterparticipation in OHS reviews.
• Improved processes and increasing OHS activitythat results in achievement of set goals.
• Improved performance due to focussing on whatis currently important and what can be measured.
2.4 What problems can arise with the useof positive performance measures?If measurement is not carried out correctly, theeffectiveness of health and safety practices cannot beassessed and there is no reliable information sourceto determine how well OHS risks are beingcontrolled.
Incorrect measurement leads to ineffectivedevelopment of OHSMS’s and inappropriate allocationof resources.
Positive performance measures can lead to wrongand/or misleading conclusions if inappropriatethresholds and measures are chosen. They are proneto being measured in isolation and therefore cangenerate misinformation.

Three types of PPMs can beidentified to measure the proactive,leading activities necessary tocontrol loss and damage.

skeleton of the system and the required processes tomake the system work. Figure 2 illustrates sub-elements and how they can relate to the key elements.
These key elements and sub-elements are based onAustralian/New Zealand Standard 4801:2001Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) ManagementSystem (AS/NZS 4801:2001). Additional detail onthe key elements and sub-elements of AS/NZS4801:2001 is provided in Appendix 2.
This Guide has adopted the AS/NZS 4801:2001 asthe base format for presentation of the PPMs giventhe extensive use of the standard across the mineraland resource industry. This allows a system which canbe replicated and is verifiable with key elements thatare easily recognisable.

A systematic health and safety management systemcan assist worksites to clearly identify what theirresponsibilities are and how they will manage them.It also creates a framework that can be audited toensure system completeness and allow for continuousimprovement to achieve a safe workplace. Theadvantages of a systems format are summarised inAppendix 1.
Experience has shown that if a safety managementsystem is to be effective, successful and sustainable, itmust contain a number of essential features asdemonstrated in Figure 1.
An occupational health and safety management systemis comprised of a number of key elements. Each keyprovides a framework for sub-elements which detail the
performance indicators. For example if a occupationalhealth and safety management plan (OHSMP)objective is set as “all supervisors are required toattend OHS training”, then the performance indicatoris Supervisor Attendance at OHS training and the PPMis actual attendances recorded, measured andreported as a percentage.
3.3 Output (Action Plan Measures)These measure outputs in terms of achievement ofobjectives or whether a target or goal has been met.For example whether all supervisors have attendedOHS training.
Output measures can be set in order to track progresstowards achieving items from an Action Plan and as

and performanceindicators
- Audit findings- Corrective action
• Continualimprovementbased on thecontinuousevaluation of OHSperformance for thepurpose ofidentifyingopportunities forimprovement.
Positive performance measures quantify and qualifyobjectives and targets set during health and safetymanagement planning and are refined after a periodof monitoring.
The process of defining PPMs requires a worksite todetermine:-
• Where they are at - by assessing their currentlevel of safety performance using audits;
• Where they want to be - by setting objectivesand targets;
• Strategies of how they are going to get there -by developing OHS Management & ImprovementPlans.
To be effective, PPMs need to be;
• owned by mine personnel;
• relevant; and
• developed in consultation with employees.
Flexibility is required in order to allow an operation toreflect on what is being measured and whether it isachieving its intent. When a work site has achieved itsdesired outcome and performance plateaus furtherimprovements can be gained from consultativelydetermining alternative PPMs at a site, department,and individual level.
Each mineral and resource operation should bemindful of the types of PPMs it selects to ensure thatwhat is being measured relates closely to anyobjectives set.
The number of PPMs selected is highly dependent onthe maturity of the operation. Mineral and resourceoperations who are intending to set PPMs for the firsttime are strongly encouraged to start off small andmonitor whether core OHS activities are beingperformed.
The process of defining an organisational PPM tablecan be broken down into five steps. Figure 3graphically demonstrates the steps required.

Positive performance measurescannot be defined carte blanchfor all work sites, as they will varywith the maturity and style ofthe operation.
Use of PPMs is much moreeffective if a limited number arechosen for use, with regularreview of the ongoing relevanceof them being undertaken.

Review where we have been vswhere we want to be
a. Review existing OHS information from:
• audit results of the OHSMS;
• legislative changes;
• achievement of objectives and targets fromprevious year; and
• outstanding corrective actions and hazardregister imperatives to determine thecontinuing suitability, adequacy andeffectiveness of the OHSMS.
These results will also impact on theappropriateness of the OHS Policy andwhether the results are in support of theOHS Policy.
b. Revisit overall OSH goals and determinedeficits in OHSMS and any changes toOHS Policy.
Identify what needs to be done tohelp us get there
a. Identify specific OHS Improvement Areas i.e.OHSMS documentation, hazard mitigation,OHS training and/or OHSMS sub-elementsthat require process improvement, promotionor reinforcement (OSH for Supervisiontraining, Hazard Management training for keypersonnel, machine guarding, ventilationenhancement, purchase new equipment etc).
Define the goal-postsa. State your objective/s for improvement i.e.
employees are to receive relevant instruction andtraining to ensure procedural compliance andequipment competence
b. Set your targets with time frames applied i.e.100% employee compliance with designatedinstruction and training by end of Q3 2004.
Determine how we are going toget there
a. Determine what OHS activities are required toachieve each objective and target within thespecified timeframe. These would normally beincluded in the sites OHS Management plan ifrelated to improvements to the OHSMS or inthe Site/department Implementation orImprovement Plan if related to specific issues.
b. Determine what of these OHS activitiesrequire monitoring and measurement to assureachievement of objective i.e. structured ManualHandling training and follow-up assessments -These are your Positive Performance Indicators.NB some activities may not always requiremeasurement - i.e. purchase of new liftingequipment.
Select types and number of ppms& create your ppm table
a. Once the specific PPI/s have been determinedfor each objective, the management team orconsultative group needs to agree on thetypes and number of PPMs required to measureeach PPI.
Remember that a PPM is a totally numericmeasurement of an OHS activity. A PPM doesnot ask the question, “has a training needsanalysis been performed?” but rather, “howmany are complete?”
A working example of this process is located atAppendix 3

• Australian Industry has comprehensively adoptedAS/NZS 4801:2001 (and other safetymanagement systems) as an OHS tool thatensures that all facets of OHS management havebeen considered and that the system is complete;
• Systems formats are portable and recognisableby management as they follow the process of allother management systems whether they arefinancial, production and/or auditing;
• PPMs that follow a management systems formatwould be more user friendly and readilyrecognisable;
• System PPMs can easily be integrated into acomplimentary systems format;
• Mirroring PPMs against an OHSMS format helpsto ensure sequential chronology for effectivePPM measurement;
• PPMs determined against management systemheadings can assist a company with objectiveevidence of system improvement; and
• PPMs determined against a known OHSMS canbe matched into Australian Standards or otheraudit accreditation with positive marketingimplications.
Appendix 1. The Advantages of a Systems Format
OHS PolicyCommitment and Policy are displayed in theorganisations’ OHS Policy. The policy should reflectthe organisations’ commitment from seniormanagement, to be compliant to laws governingoperations and promote continual improvement. Thepolicy is the basis of how the organisation sets itsobjectives and targets.
PlanningPlanning Identification of Hazards, Hazard/RiskAssessment and Controof Hazards/Risks.
Planning is a method for an organisation to addresshazard identification, hazard/risk assessment andcontrol of hazards/risks by the organisation’s OHSMS.The organisation is to establish and maintaindocumented procedures for hazard identification,hazard/risk assessment and control of hazards/risksfor operations and services in which the organisationhas control, including contractors and suppliers whoprovide activities and services.
Legal and other Requirements
An organisation is to establish procedures to identifyand maintain a register of legal and otherrequirements related to OHS issues, for operationsand services, in which the organisation has control,including contractors and suppliers. Relevantinformation is to be communicated to employees.
Objectives and Targets
An organisation will provide, implement and maintaindocumented OHS objectives and targets at eachrelevant level and function within the organisation.Appropriate performance indicators should be used.The objectives and targets are to reflect theorganisation’s OHS Policy.
Occupational Health and Safety Management Plans
The OHS Management plan will describe how thetargets are to be achieved, time lines and managementresponsibilities. The plan will also include a review ofcurrent and new activities.
Implementation Structure and Responsibility
An organisation is to identify and provide adequateresources, identify areas of accountability andresponsibility (including legal requirements) of allemployees required to meet the OHSMS (contractors tobe included). Commitment is to come from the highestlevel of management and would include designating amanagement person responsible for implementing theOHSMS. The main OHSMS responsibilities are to becommunicated to relevant personnel.
Training and Competency
The organisation is required to determine its trainingrequirements and competencies. The organisation’smanagement is also to develop a training plan to meetthe determined competencies. Contractors are toprovide supporting documentation to show theiremployees have the desired level of training.
Appendix 2. Overview of the Elements of AS/NZS 4801:2001
C M E G U I D E T O P O S I T I V E P E R F O R M A N C E M E A S U R E M E N T 35
Consultation, Communication and Reporting
The employees are to be engaged in the OHSdecision-making process. The organisation is to electSafety and Health Representatives from the employeegroup who will represent employees on OHS matters.Elected representative are to receive training for theirroles. Employees are also to be provided withadequate opportunity and support to take part inOHS activities in their daily work.
A documented procedure on how OHS information ispassed to and from employees is to be communicatedand implemented.
Reporting of OHS performance (audits and reviews),incidents and system failures, hazards identified,hazard/risk assessments, preventative and correctiveaction and statutory reporting requirements are all tobe established. Reporting timeframes are to bedetermined by the organisation, to ensure theOHSMS is monitored and performance improved.
Documentation
The organisation will create, apply and maintaindocumentation in a suitable form to describe the coreelements of the OHSMS and provide direction torelated documentation.
Documentation and Data Control
The Organisation will establish, implement andmaintain procedures for controlling relevant OHSdocuments.
Hazard Identification, Hazard/Risk Assessment andControl of Hazards/Risks
Hazards associated with the organisation’s activitiesand services are to be identified, hazard/riskassessment conducted, control measuredimplemented and evaluated to ascertain if riskreduction was achieved. This usually includes design,construction, commissioning and purchasing controls,contractor management and management of change.
Emergency Preparedness and Response
The organisation is to identify any emergencysituations and ensure that emergency procedures aredocumented.
Measurement and EvaluationMonitoring and Measurement
The organisation is to establish, implement, andmaintain documented procedures to monitor andmeasure on a regular basis the key operations andactivities, which can cause illness and injury. Records
of equipment for monitoring and measuring (relatedto health and safety risks), their calibration, storageand maintenance shall be maintained and stored.
Health Surveillance
The organisation will identify situations where employeehealth surveillance is required. Employees shall haveaccess to their individual results. Where specified bylegislation, employees’ health will be monitored andrecorded when exposed to specific hazards.
Incident Investigation, Corrective andPreventative Action
The organisation is to establish, implement andmaintain procedures for, investigating any incident thatcause harm, investigate system failures and initiatingappropriate corrective and preventative actions. Theorganisation shall implement and record any changesto OHSMS procedures resulting from incidentinvestigation, corrective and preventative action.
Records and Records Management
An organisation will establish, implement and maintainprocedures for identification, maintenance anddisposition of records needed for the implementationand operation of OHSMS and to record the extent towhich planned objectives and targets have been met.
Occupational Health and Safety ManagementSystem Audit
The organisation is to establish, implement andmaintain an audit program for regular reviews of theOHSMS. The audit is to be carried out by acompetent person.
Management Review Review of the Occupational Health and SafetyManagement System
Senior management will at regular intervals conduct areview to ensure continuing suitability andeffectiveness in satisfying the targets and objectivesset for the OHSMS. The review includes, policy,objective, targets and performance indicators, auditfindings, and corrective actions.
Continual Improvement
Management from the review, will change wereappropriate any deficiencies identified. Continualimprovement is based on the continuous evaluation ofOHS performance for the purpose of identifyingopportunities for improvement.

1) PPI – ensure that employees have receivedStructured Manual Handling Training (withpractical assessment);
2) PPM – what requires measurement
• Input Measure - number ofdocumented/complete Training NeedsAnalysis (TNA). This is calculated bycounting the number of completed TNAsfrom the Departments. The TNA has eitherbeen completed or it has not.
• Output Measure - % of employees who havecompleted Manual Handling Training.Calculated by examining the departmentTNA (% = projected/actual x100).
• Input Measure – number of employees whohave attended Manual Handling Training permonth/quarter (calculated by examinationof the individual training records).
• Process Measure – Examine the % ofemployees who demonstrate correct manualhandling techniques (calculated byexamination of behaviour observationrecords).
3) Create PPM Table – Using the frameworkillustrated below, ensure that for each PPM the:-
• Method Of Approach (how are you going tocollect the information and how are you goingto manipulate/calculate the data),
• Monitoring Strategy (how is this informationto be reported to you and how often; and
• Review Period (How often are you measuringthat the targets are being met and when will ajudgement be made on whether the objectivehas been achieved).
Appendix 3. Example – Manual Handling Training
The PPMs have been written to quantify the responsewith a measurement, not to direct you to respondwhether you have performed a function or not. Thequestions are not asking IF the action has occurred, butrather, to what extent.
Examination of the results can be used to emphaticallydemonstrate the extent of, and by extrapolation, theweaknesses and strengths of OHS activity.
a. Input measures - how many TNA completed andhow many employees trained (compliance)
b. Output measure - % completed (was the targetmet? - what needs to be completed vs. what hasbeen completed)
c. Process measure - examination of the incidence ofLTIFR prior to training compared with the numberof LTIFR after the training (effectiveness of training)
