thanks everyone for the good giggles. I've really enjoyed this thread!

Hey Amanda, so I'm in manufacturing now.. and our national Total Injury Rate is about 2.32, our LTI rate is about 0.50
my region is averaging about 12 incidents a month (mostly not MTI or LTI) and only 12.5 for near miss/hazardous behaviour or conditions. since i've been working her i've been driving this rate up, but it's not fab. BUT we also have monthly "safety behaviours observations" that is compulsory for everyone to do... we usually get between 95-100% completion on those, but they're not included as a number for the leading indicators, and that would drive up our rate. but i just don't have the time to manually enter them all! i wish i did because then our number would be amazing, instead I'm trying to push for our company to electronically complete these so it can be counter. huge company, not a quick change.
but there is another region. so our Leading indicator number would really be about 150 a month... and people to notice stuff and get it addressed, but they don't formally report it. so frustrating.
i would say 2 MTI and 2 LTI in a month is high, but is that normal or an anomaly, as we do have months where we have that, then we won't have an LTI for months! so it all averages out.
Construction is traditionally a higher rate industry though. I also work hard to get everyone back to work on alternative duties instead of off at home, to drive down LTI rate and to help with their mental wellbeing etc.
hope that helps some. I'm sure you're doing a lot of positive work on improvement there though! you've gotta take the small wins, and look at your trends, it takes a LONG time to drive culture in the right direction and change behaviour. :)

Hi how did the policy workout in the end? Did you end up going with Te Whare Tapa Whā model and was it well received and effective?
