Safety at its Best: Aligning Employee Safety with Business Performance
Today's issue of Industry Week includes an article called "Safety at its Best: Aligning Employee Safety with Business Performance".
It discusses the glut of data available to managers, and the problem of finding a way to effectively use that data. The opening paragraph states:
"We have a problem on our hands: manufacturers have plenty of data, but they often haven't figured out how to use it to analyze human and process behavior and cause-and-effect scenarios that impact company performance."
The article presents a case study of Snap-On, Inc., showing how they used software to gain control of and use their data in the area of safety and resulting workers' compensation claims. The article is written by the software supplier, but it provides a good overview of the benefits that can be realized through better data management and analysis.
