KPIs and Performance Metrics
Health and Safety Department KPIs and Performance Metrics – A 360 Degree Approach
Ensuring Measurable Safety Performance, Compliance, and Continuous Improvement in Mega Construction Projects
1. Introduction
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Performance Metrics in the Health and Safety Department at BEC Arabia ensure:
Compliance with Saudi Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Regulations, Saudi Labor Law, and ISO 45001
Measurement of incident prevention, hazard mitigation, and emergency response effectiveness
Tracking of safety performance across engineering, procurement, and site execution
Reduction in workplace injuries, safety violations, and environmental hazards
Data-driven decision-making for continuous safety improvement
The 360-degree safety performance framework is categorized into five major KPI groups:
KPI Category
Focus Area
Regulatory Compliance and Legal Adherence KPIs
Ensures alignment with Saudi safety laws, ISO 45001, and SBC
Incident and Injury Prevention KPIs
Measures the effectiveness of workplace safety controls
Emergency Response and Crisis Management KPIs
Tracks readiness and response times in safety incidents
Operational Safety Performance KPIs
Evaluates safety compliance in daily construction activities
Environmental and Occupational Health KPIs
Ensures compliance with ISO 14001 and environmental safety standards
By leveraging digital safety tracking tools (Aconex, SAP ERP, Power BI, and Primavera P6), BEC Arabia ensures proactive safety control and compliance tracking.
2. Regulatory Compliance and Legal Adherence KPIs
2.1 Regulatory Compliance Rate
Definition: Measures the percentage of safety inspections and audits that meet Saudi Labor Law, Saudi Building Code (SBC), and ISO 45001 requirements.
Formula: Regulatory Compliance Rate = (Compliant Safety Inspections / Total Safety Inspections) × 100
Target Benchmark: Minimum 98 percent compliance with regulatory standards.
Reporting: Monthly regulatory compliance dashboard updates.
2.2 Permit to Work (PTW) Compliance Rate
Definition: Measures the percentage of high-risk construction activities executed with valid Permit to Work (PTW) approvals.
Formula: Permit to Work Compliance Rate = (Issued PTWs / Total High-Risk Activities) × 100
Target Benchmark: Minimum 99 percent compliance.
Reporting: Tracked via Aconex and SAP ERP safety modules.
2.3 ISO 45001 Audit Pass Rate
Definition: Measures the percentage of internal and external ISO 45001 audits passed without major non-conformances.
Formula: ISO 450
01 Audit Pass Rate = (Passed ISO 45001 Audits / Total Audits Conducted) × 100
Target Benchmark: Minimum 95 percent audit compliance.
Reporting: Annual third-party ISO 45001 audits and internal safety audits.
3. Incident and Injury Prevention KPIs
3.1 Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR)
Definition: Measures the number of lost-time injuries per million work hours, indicating the effectiveness of safety protocols.
Formula: LTIFR = (Lost Time Injuries × 1,000,000) / Total Work Hours
Target Benchmark: Maximum 0.5 LTIFR.
Reporting: Tracked through incident reports and Power BI dashboards.
3.2 Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR)
Definition: Measures the number of recordable injuries per million work hours, including medical treatment cases, restricted work, and lost-time injuries.
Formula: TRIR = (Total Recordable Cases × 1,000,000) / Total Work Hours
Target Benchmark: Maximum 2.0 TRIR.
Reporting: Monthly analysis via SAP ERP safety incident tracking.
3.3 Near Miss Reporting Rate
Definition: Measures the number of near-miss safety incidents reported, highlighting proactive hazard identification.
Formula: Near Miss Reporting Rate = (Total Near Miss Reports / Total Workforce) × 100
Target Benchmark: Minimum 10 percent increase in near-miss reporting annually.
Reporting: Logged in Aconex and project-specific safety dashboards.
4. Emergency Response and Crisis Management KPIs
4.1 Emergency Drill Compliance Rate
Definition: Measures the percentage of scheduled emergency response drills completed on time.
Formula: Emergency Drill Compliance Rate = (Completed Drills / Scheduled Drills) × 100
Target Benchmark: Minimum 100 percent compliance.
Reporting: Documented in emergency response reports.
4.2 Emergency Response Time
Definition: Measures the time taken to respond to a reported safety incident from the moment it is logged.
Formula: Emergency Response Time = Time of Incident Resolution - Time of Incident Report
Target Benchmark: Maximum 5-minute response time for critical incidents.
Reporting: Logged in incident management software.
5. Operational Safety Performance KPIs
5.1 Site Inspection Pass Rate
Definition: Measures the percentage of construction site safety inspections passed without requiring corrective actions.
Formula: Site Inspection Pass Rate = (Successful Inspections / Total Inspections) × 100
Target Benchmark: Minimum 95 percent compliance.
Reporting: Tracked via daily inspection logs.
5.2 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Compliance Rate
Definition: Measures the percentage of workers adhering to PPE requirements.
Formula: PPE Compliance Rate = (Compliant Workers / Total Workers Observed) × 100
Target Benchmark: Minimum 99 percent PPE adherence.
Reporting: Documented via on-site safety checks.
6. Environmental and Occupational Health KPIs
6.1 Air Quality and Dust Control Compliance
Definition: Measures the adherence to dust suppression and air quality control measures on construction sites.
Formula: Air Quality Compliance Rate = (Compliant Dust Control Measures / Total Work Zones) × 100
Target Benchmark: Minimum 98 percent compliance.
Reporting: Documented in ISO 14001 environmental audits.
6.2 Heat Stress and Hydration Compliance
Definition: Measures compliance with heat stress prevention programs for workers in extreme weather conditions.
Formula: Heat Stress Compliance Rate = (Compliant Cooling Stations / Total Work Zones) × 100
Target Benchmark: Minimum 100 percent compliance in high-temperature work environments.
Reporting: Monitored via health and safety logs.
