EHS Leading Indicator Tracking Dashboard

Inspection template for tracking proactive EHS leading indicators such as hazard identification, near-miss reporting, corrective action timeliness, and inspection/training completion to help predict and prevent incidents.

Inspection Scope and Period

• Inspection period documented
  Record the start and end dates covered by this dashboard review.
• Area, department, or workgroup identified
  Specify the location or team being reviewed.
• Inspector name and role recorded
  Identify the person completing the review and their role.
• Review type selected
  Select the type of leading indicator review being performed.
• Reference standard or program noted
  Document the applicable EHS program, SOP, or standard used for the review.

Hazard Identification and Observation Activity

• Hazard observations logged during the period
  Enter the number of hazard observations submitted during the review period.
• Hazard identification rate calculated
  Enter the hazard identification rate for the period.
• Observed hazards were documented with location and risk detail
  Verify that hazard reports include enough detail to support follow-up and trend analysis.
• Hazard reports include photo evidence when appropriate
  Check whether photo documentation is attached for visible hazards where it improves clarity.
• Repeat hazards identified and flagged for trend review
  Determine whether recurring hazards are being tracked as a non-conformance trend.

Near-Miss Reporting and Event Quality

• Near-miss reports submitted during the period
  Enter the count of near-miss reports submitted during the review period.
• Near-miss reports describe actual potential for injury or loss
  Verify that reports describe a credible event that could have caused harm, not just a minor housekeeping issue.
• Near-miss reports include immediate controls taken
  Check whether the report documents any immediate corrective or protective action taken at the time of discovery.
• Near-miss reports were submitted within 24 hours
  Assess whether reporting timeliness supports prompt hazard correction and learning.

Corrective Action Closure and Timeliness

• Open corrective actions count
  Enter the number of open corrective actions tied to observations or near misses.
• Average time to correction recorded
  Enter the average time from identification to correction.
• Critical hazards corrected immediately or controlled pending repair
  Verify that critical hazards receive immediate control measures or prompt correction.
• Corrective actions have assigned owners and due dates
  Confirm that each open action has a responsible owner and target completion date.
• Closed actions were verified effective
  Check whether closure verification confirms the fix eliminated or controlled the hazard.

Preventive Controls, Training, and Communication

• Required safety inspections completed on schedule
  Verify that routine inspections were completed within the required frequency.
• Assigned employees completed required safety training
  Check whether required training completion is current for the reviewed group.
• Safety observations or lessons learned communicated to the team
  Confirm that recent findings were shared to reinforce awareness and prevention.
• Preventive actions are focused on root causes, not only symptoms
  Assess whether actions address underlying causes such as process, equipment, or behavior gaps.
