Safety inspections are the cornerstone
of every effective safety and risk management
program. Hundreds of thousands
of safety inspections are conducted every
week and provide a rich and large source
of safety data. What does this large data
set tell us? Can it be used to predict
future incidents?
Research1 has proven that workplace
injuries and safety incidents can indeed be
predicted before they happen with accuracy
levels between 80 and 97 percent.
