Question 1

Compare and contrast between leading and trailing metrics. Provide examples and explain those that you believe are most useful to the organization and why?

Question 2

It can be argued that most all companies have programs in place to manage ESH issues in the facility. How does having such systems in place differ from a management systems approach?

Question 3

Consider a manufacturing plant that makes AA batteries. It is a highly mechanized facility with a lot of machinery and automated systems. Summarize how an organization might go about measuring the success and/or failures of the company's confined space, lockout/tagout, and machine guarding programs. Make sure you demonstrate an understanding of the fundamental tenets of these safety and health topics as well. Do not forget to make an effort toward considering leading indicators.

Question 4

Summarize the strategic performance improvement measuring process and how this process would apply to the industrial setting. Can the process include quality, OSH, and environmental management system metrics?
