Although you may not realize it, we\u2019re living in a revolutionary time. Society is being transformed by an ever-increasing demand for, and consumption of, vast amounts of data. Much of this data is the result of a measurement or metric of some kind, and we\u2019re just beginning to discover all the ways in which this data can be analyzed to explain the previously inexplicable. In fact, the more information we collect from the world around us, the more it\u2019s beginning to appear that almost anything can be understood and quantified\u2014even abstract human ideas\u2014if enough measurements are taken.<\/p>

Is the same true for safety? Can an intangible concept such as safety be measured? And if so, in what ways? The contributing writers in this issue of The SafetyNET magazine have examined these questions from a number of intriguing angles. In \u201cShifting Gears\u201d (p.16), Dr. Randy Flemmer explores ways in which driver safety can be measured; while Ted Lane\u2019s article, \u201cIs Investing In Safety Worth The Cost?\u201d (p.26) offers a fascinating example of how the costs of safety can be quantified. Emily Ortis delves into the technical side of safety metrics with \u201cLeading and Lagging Indicators\u201d (p.12), and Shawn Robertson shares his personal experiences while explaining how to improve objectivity in \u201cValidating Competency\u201d (p.8). Susan Sawatzky\u2019s \u201cThe Thief In Plain Sight\u201d (p.19) uncovers a mysterious, yet all-too-obvious risk factor for your business. And in \u201cGame Time\u201d (p.22), Sharayah Piercey points out that no amount of safety measurement will be effective unless your team has a targeted game plan.<\/p>

We truly are living in a revolutionary time\u2014a time that offers unparalleled opportunities and new horizons in terms of measuring the success or failure of your company\u2019s safety training. How will you and your company apply data and metrics to enhance safety in your operations? I hope you\u2019ll enjoy finding out the answer in this issue of The SafetyNET.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
