2. WSH Performance Parameter in accordance with the legal and other requirement

5.5.1 Performance Measurement and Monitoring


Companies should identify and set key performance parameter to measure SHE performance.
These parameters may include:
• Both qualitative or quantitative measurements;
• Proactive in measuring compliance, operation criteria and management programmes performances;
• Reactive in measuring incident, accident and illness rates or other deficiencies in SHE performances;
• Monitoring the extent to which the SHE objectives are met; and
• Monitoring and measurements that facilitate preventive and corrective actions.
Where equipment and instruments are used for monitoring, they should be properly maintained and
calibrated.
Equipment and instruments brought by contractors to the shipyard must also be subjected to the same
requirements.

5.5.1.1 Proactive and Reactive Monitoring


Examples of proactive monitoring include:
• Number of workers trained in SHE;
• Effectiveness of SHE training;
• Number of promotional campaigns done;
• Employees participantion in promotional campaigns and SHE programmes;
• Number of risk assessments conducted;
• Extent to which risk control measures are complied with;
• Frequency of safety inspection and audits done;
• Frequency and effectiveness of SHE committees and group meetings;
• Frequency and effectiveness of SHE communications;
• Number of SHE suggestions completed;
• Time to implement suggestions; and
• Compliance in use of PPE.
Examples of reactive monitoring include:
i) Accident Frequency Rate
Refers to the number of workplace accidents per million man-hours worked
= Number of workplace accidents x 106
Man-hours worked
ii) Accident Severity Rate
Refers to the number of man-day lost to workplace accidents per million man-hours worked
= Number man-days lost to workplace accidents x 106
Man-hours worked
iii) Fatality Rate
Refers to the number of workplace fatalities per 100,000 persons employed. Figures used are victim based
= Number of workplace fatalities x 105
Number of persons employed
iv) Injury Rate
Refers to the number of fatal and non-fatal workplace injuries per 100,000 persons employed
= Number of fatal and non-fatal workplace injury x 105
Number of persons employed
v) Disease Incidence
Refers to the number of occupational diseases (chronic confirmed cases) per 100,000 persons employed.
= Number of chronic confirmed occupational diseases cases x 105
Number of persons employed
A confirmed case of occupational disease is one where there is definite evidence that the worker suffers from
a disease which is related to his occupation.

vi) Number of Reportable Dangerous Occurrences


Number of dangerous occurrence as defined in the Second Schedule, WSH Act being reported.
vii) Regulatory Enforcement Actions
Number of regulatory enforcement action as taken against the company in the period.
