There is a need for integrating ‘proactive’ key performance indicators (KPI) for safety, health and wellbeing (SHW) into construction business process, as supplements to traditional ‘reactive’ indicators such as injuries (accidents) and sickness absence. A selection of proactive and leading KPIs will be presented, such as following up and learning from toolbox meetings and safety rounds, which have shown to be effective in preventing construction injuries in many countries. Additional KPIs can deal with integrating SHW in on-boarding, (refresher) training, procurement, as well as leadership commitment and worker involvement, and can be adapted to small, medium and large construction companies.
