What Are Safety Metrics?

Safety metrics are standardized measurements used to understand workplace risk, injury trends, and overall safety performance. They help safety leaders answer questions like:

Are incidents increasing or decreasing?
Which locations are highest risk?
Are corrective actions actually preventing repeat incidents?
How do we prove safety improvements to leadership?

Without reliable metrics, safety programs rely on assumptions instead of data.

Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR)

TRIR measures the number of OSHA-recordable injuries per 100 full-time employees. It’s often used by executives, insurers, and regulators to compare safety performance across companies. The problem: TRIR is backward-looking. By the time it changes, the damage is already done.

Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred (DART)

DART tracks incidents that result in days away from work, restricted duty, or job transfer. It highlights severity — not just frequency. The problem: DART spikes often reveal deeper issues that weren’t caught early enough due to poor reporting systems.

How EHS Insight Helps

EHS Insight brings all of your safety metrics into a single, real-time view—so teams can understand performance without chasing spreadsheets or outdated reports.

You can track TRIR and DART trends, recordable and near-miss activity, open versus closed corrective actions, high-risk locations, days since last incident, and audit completion status. Everything is filterable by site, role, date range, or incident type, making it easy to surface what matters most.

Built for EHS managers, operations leaders, executives, and compliance teams, EHS Insight delivers accurate, defensible safety data at every level of the organization. Whether you’re overseeing one facility or managing safety across dozens of locations, the platform scales with your operations and your data.
