WHAT ARE OHS LEADING (or LEAD) INDICATORS? § Measures of the positive steps that
organisations and individuals take to prevent an OHS incident
§ Characteristics of workplaces that precede OHS outcomes
§ Measures of the ‘safety potential’ of a workplace
§ Resources that are available in the workplace and that impact OHS performance
(References: Christian et al., 2009; Geldart et al., 2010; Laitinen et al., 2013; Reiman & Pietikäinen, 2012; Sinelnikov, Inouye, & Kerper, 2015; Wachter & Yorio, 2014)

Overall, “a general consensus exists for the use of leading indicators as a measure of OHS performance”
(Sinelnikov et al., Safety Science, 2015: 240).
Sinelnikov et al. (2015: 248) call for the development and validation of a
“standard index of leading indicators that could be used for benchmarking across organizations”.

• To measure OHS leading indicators, we used an adapted version of the ORGANIZATION PERFORMANCE METRIC (OPM)
• The OPM was developed at the Institute for Work & Health, Ontario Canada (IWH, 2011)
• The OPM is an eight-item tool that asks for responses to a set of statements about aspects of health and safety in his/her workplace
• A higher score reflects that the respondent agrees that OHS leading indicators are present in his/her workplace
• OPM scores can range from 8 to 40
