    Speaker Notes:

    To effectively manage anything --

    You first must be able to measure it -- Safety is no different --

    • Historically -- we have used after the fact "trailing indicators" (measuring "failures")
       
    • Ideal situation is to develop a balanced scorecard of leading and trailing indicators -- the Key is to correlate leading with trailing to measure the effectiveness of your efforts. Maximum value from metrics.
