Safety targets & leading indicators
Site safety targets and leading indicators for UAE construction projects
How site safety targets and leading indicators work on UAE construction projects: per-site targets for recordable and lost-time rates, exposure ceilings and inspections, plus critical-control verification, CAPA effectiveness, incident data confidence, SIF precursors and exposure by site.
Site safety targets
Each site sets its own figures for the year, so a tower fit-out is not judged against an infrastructure package. Progress is drawn from the monthly worker-hours, inspections and findings the site records — not from estimates.
Per-site yearly targets
Recordable and lost-time injury rates, recordable, lost-time and near-miss counts, and the number of inspections each site commits to.
Exposure ceiling
A maximum share of the occupational exposure limit — for example lead in air and hand-arm vibration — that a site agrees not to exceed.
Progress against the target
Live rates from the worker-hours, inspections and findings recorded each month, with a progress bar per target so a slipping site is visible early.
The five leading indicators
Injury counts tell you what already went wrong. These five measures track the work that keeps it from happening, over a rolling twelve months per site.
- Critical-control verification rate
- The share of critical controls actually checked — checklist checkpoints answered pass or fail, and permits requiring a gas test — with the number checked shown behind the rate so a thin month is obvious.
- CAPA effectiveness
- The share of closed corrective actions whose effectiveness check was verified, plus the number of effectiveness checks now overdue.
- Incident data confidence
- A completeness score for each incident record — description, location, reporter, photo or video, type and severity, linked corrective action, witness — so weak data is not mistaken for good performance.
- SIF precursor frequency
- High-severity near misses, high-risk violations and critical observations counted monthly — the conditions that precede a serious injury or fatality.
- Exposure concentration by site
- Lead and hand-arm vibration readings shown as a percentage of the occupational limit against a 100% line, with a silica summary alongside.
Who sees which site
Figures are held per site, and access follows the site — not the platform. A project team sees the sites belonging to its own organisation. A client login is tied to the single site it was granted, is approved before any data appears, and can be paused or blocked at any time. One client never sees another project’s numbers.
Common questions
- What is a site safety target?
- A figure each site commits to for the year: recordable and lost-time injury rates, recordable, lost-time and near-miss counts, inspections completed, and a ceiling on exposure as a percentage of the occupational limit. Progress is measured against the monthly worker-hours, inspections and findings the site records.
- What is a leading indicator?
- A measure of work done before anyone is hurt, rather than a count of injuries afterwards. Examples used here are critical-control verification rate, CAPA effectiveness, incident data confidence, SIF precursor frequency and exposure concentration by site.
- How are the injury rates calculated?
- Rates use the standard 200,000 worker-hour base: the count of recordable or lost-time injuries multiplied by 200,000 and divided by the worker-hours recorded for the period.
- Who can see a site's figures?
- Only people assigned to that site. Project teams see the sites in their own organisation, and each client login is limited to the single site it is assigned to, so one client cannot see another project's numbers.
- Where does the data come from?
- From the monthly figures the project team and the client record — worker-hours, inspections completed, findings raised and closed — plus checklists, permits, corrective actions, incident records and exposure monitoring entered on the platform. No figures are estimated on your behalf.
