Using Benchmarking and Predictive Safety Metrics to Drive Continuous Fleet Safety Improvement

Many fleet safety programs remain reactive, relying on lagging indicators such as post-incident reviews or CSA score changes. Industry data shows companies are operating older equipment and facing increasing maintenance variability, making it harder to translate inspection and violation data into proactive safety improvements. This session will explore how safety leaders can apply continuous improvement principles to fleet safety reporting using benchmarking, trend analysis and predictive metrics derived from CSA, inspection and maintenance data. You’ll learn how identifying leading indicators such as maintenance-related out-of-service trends, tire violations and usage patterns can reduce risk exposure. You’ll leave understanding how to interpret CSA and BASIC metrics beyond compliance, prioritize safety actions based on risk, and implement repeatable reporting processes that support preventative safety management.
