Join BROWZ for a webinar discussing using both lagging and leading indicators to evaluate the safety performance of contractors. We will be discussing how to track a contractor’s safety statistics and OSHA/MSHA violations, auditing safety programs, and also performing safety management systems assessments.
8. Leading
What are they doing today to sustain or
improve performance for tomorrow.
Lagging
Looking backwards and scoring
performance over time through metrics.
9. • You hire a company to perform
a service.

Employers, Contractors, Staffing Agencies.
34. Assessment objective: “Ability of a company to work safely for the client”
• Depth of their safety program
• Aid to help client on hiring decisions
Scored best practice assessment – not a pass/fail
Provides a gap analysis for the supplier
Most suppliers want to improve their safety programs & seek mentoring from
their clients
Provides a common language and dialog for on-going discussion
Repeat assessments allow for visibility of program trends
35. “We hope competitor companies are participating in the BROWZ
assessment system, so their safety efforts are also measured.”
“This review will help us be a better safety performing company.”
“…glad to see industry is doing more to evaluate supplier’s safety
programs, which is heading industry in a positive direction.”

Editor's Notes
Good morning, good afternoon. Welcome to our final edition of DEMO WEEK. Today we’ll be discussing how to evaluate the safety performance of contractors using leading indicators.
As a reminder, you are in listen only mode. We do want to hear from you though. If you have any comments or questions during this presentation, please send through the Q&A section of WebEx. We’ll leave time at the end to answer specific questions.
As I mentioned, this is the final edition of a 4-part webinar series on Contractor Management. If you want to watch the other demos go to www.browz.com/webinar
Let me introduce our speakers today. My name is David Askvig, and I will be your host today.
I’m joined by…
Dennis Robinson who has been with BROWZ for almost 12 years and is currently working in Business Development. Prior to his current role, Dennis worked with Operations managing the Assessment Specialist team responsible for the validation of all contractor documentation.
I am also joined by Pat Cunningham who is the director of Safety and Auditing Services at BROWZ. Pat Cunningham has a Masters in Occupational Health & Safety Management and over 25 years of experience in the field of safety. In addition to his appointment to the VPPPA Education Committee, Pat is a Delegate to the National Safety Council. Prior to BROWZ, Pat worked for Xcel Energy as the Director of Corporate Safety.

Dennis Robinson
Lot of reasons
Risk/Brand Equity
Well-being of employees
EMR Rates lower, fines by OSHA
Dennis Robinson
There are 3 potential scenarios when implementing a contractor management system. Do nothing. Do it in house. Outsource
So what are the risks of doing nothing.
There are lives at risk, on top of the injuries, there is a financial burden, and brand equity
No organization is immune from accidents and it’s only a matter of time before a safety incident occurs at a worksite. A recent study by Conoco Phillips estimates that “for every single workplace fatality there are at least 300,000 at-risk behaviors” taking place.
Pat: Speak to regulatory mandate…
-There are OSHA Regulations that dictate the need to qualify
-There isn’t one document… but it is embedded in various documents
-clearly OSHA has issued the need for joint responsibility for contractors and host employers
When you do it well, there can be some massive benefits… Pat can you talk about the recent NSC Study.
Pat Cunningham
We’re often asked, does prequalification make a difference. The NSC conducted a study with the BROWZ database of contractors. They compared the BLS industry averages for key safety metrics with the BROWZ contractors and found a 34% reduction in TRR, 65% reduction in LWR, and a 48% reduction in DART.
Pat Cunningham
In addition to lower rates across the board… they found that the longer a contractor remains registered with BROWZ, the greater the improvement in TRR, DART, and LWR.
This means that BROWZ continues to help contractors improve and become safer over time.
What does this mean? This means that when you hold your contractors accountable and hold them to a higher standard, you get better results
You can download the full report at nsc.org/contractormanagement.
Over the course of our time today, we’re going to cover both lagging and leading indicators.
PAT: Lagging indicators are like looking in the rear view mirror
Leading indicators drive business in the direction you want to go.
Set up the conversation for the rest of the presentation
Definition of each
Lagging indicators are a foundation
Say we’re going to cover lagging indicators first and how they are helpful
And then look at practical applications or ways to look at leading indicators
TRANSITION: So let’s start this off by talking about lagging indicators.
First case… but when look at deeper. You have what was marked as job transfer restriction, should have been a days away from work… when you switch it. That’s what happens to their rates.
Dennis
Pat Add Comment: This is part of the BROWZ service. We do this for you…
Dennis: ASK PAT Do you have any comments about being prepared when OSHA comes onsite?
Pat Comment… More severe than industry average or less severe
Dennis
Pat – Is there anything else you should be doing here? (Should be sitting down each year with the contractor to see how they did )
Educated Estimate, Could me more or less
Dennis - Advance Slide
Conservatively plan for 1 FTE -300 contractors
1 hr a year explaining requirements
2 hrs a year answering questions specific to compliance / holding accountable
1.5 hrs a year collecting documentation
1.5 hrs a year entering data in spreadsheets/data
2 hrs a year validating data
2 Monitoring data for expiration
2 hrs a year coordinating with other departments unless able to share data
12 hrs spent each year per contractor = 173 contractors
If you can get it down to 7 1/300
Brett Armstrong
Start with the end in mind. So why are we here? I think it is safe to say that everyone here, appreciates the need for prequalification and management program. The question that inevitably comes up is should we do this in house or work with a third party provider.
We want to help you make a case for a supplier/vendor management at your company. There’s a lot of depth to thinking that goes into the creation of ROI. The most challenging aspect in this particular case is not the formula as much as the unknown resources necessary to create an effective contractor management solution.
We wanted to build a calculator that accounted for all the nuances of a program. We’ll be showing you this towards the end of the presentation.
This is important because we’re giving you foundational context and building blocks to do this. It’s not just a one-pager, by the end of this presentation you will have a tool to do this yourself and make adjustments based on the structure and culture of your own organization.
We want to give you the tools and practical ways to communicate the ROI to other potential share holders
Pat: Do you have any comments on the complexities of managing the data? Configurability.
This is BROWZ OneView. What you can expect to see when logging in and viewing your suppliers as a BROWZ Client.
This is your dashboard to get insight into your contractors and suppliers
The old adage, you can’t manage what you can’t measure.
Take the guess work out of it.
You can weight the importance items
Scorecards are done differently for each client
You can look up a historical view of the safety stats for a company.
Keep in mind, we collect and compile these all for you.
Pat: Add a comment: Pat to reiterate the value of using more than one metric

Dennis Robinson
Pat, do you have any comments on Lagging indicators and how that’s been valuable
Pat Cunningham
Definition:
Leading indicators are proactive or predictive measurements, as opposed to lagging indicators, which are measurements collected after the fact.
Look at indicators that “drive” a business they want to go.
How they can be used for evaluating contractor performance.
Pat Rework
What are safety program audits
Why are they important
How does BROWZ perform these
Benefits? Etc.

DENNIS ask Pat:
Do you have an example where a compliance only assessment didn’t tell the full story

Seeded Questions:
Can I incorporate the EMR into the contractor scorecard, so that it accounts for part of the 100% score? - Dennis
Can you provide examples of contractors and work types that you’d do safety program audits or safety management system assessments for? Or do you recommend sending all your contractors through that? - Pat
I know you’re showing a fictitious example, do you really find companies that are misreporting data. - Dennis
I’m intrigued by what I heard, what’s the next step for us? – Dennis
In your experience, how many companies are truly using leading indicators as you mentioned? – Pat
What does this cost? – Dennis (ROI)
