Description
Summary:Despite their initial usefulness, traditional OHS measures (e.g., frequency rate, severity rate) are considered poor, inappropriate and even counterproductive indicators for improving companies’ OHS performance. This article instead proposes the measuring of predictive variables that fall within a hierarchical model of OHS concerns based on a learning- instead of a performance-based philosophy. The developed diagnostic instrument is a self-administered questionnaire covering predictive variables likely to have an impact on OHS results. The interest raised by the questionnaire in environments that have used it justifies further work to test the instrument’s scientific validity.
