Abstract

The article discusses the pivotal role of safety metrics, particularly lagging indicators like the total recordable injury rate (TRIR), in shaping organizational decisions and behavior regarding safety culture. It highlights the philosophical and statistical limitations of traditional lagging indicators such as TRIR, emphasizing their retrospective nature, conceptualization of safety, and inability to capture relative severity.
