National data confirm significant reductions in incident rates and lost-time compensable injuries over the past 10 years. Yet, the average cost of medical and indemnity claims continue to escalate. Workers' compensation renewal premiums are increasing, and corporate accrual accounts to fund incurred losses are hemorrhaging in many organizations. This "disconnect" (measures in conflict with results) is pervasive, systemic and inherently fueled by the traditional measures employed to manage safety in the business process. This article examines the reality of this disconnect and discusses the disincentives traditional metrics create. Recommendations derived from actual experience are offered to reconnect effective safety (prevention) and loss (mitigation) practices and strategies.
This manuscript is a follow-up article to the 1995 article CAUTION: Beware of OSHA Statistics.
