About SafetyRatios

Refining Safety Outlook, Redefining Safety Performance

Our Commitment to a Safer Future

SafetyRatios was conceived and built by Chartered Safety Practitioners with extensive operational safety experience. Our mission is simple yet ambitious: to redefine the way safety is measured, reported, and acted upon across industries, scales of operation, cultures, and geographies. We believe that the vision of zero accidents and a thriving safety culture can only be realised through objectively auditable systems—where decisions are driven not by assumptions but by empirical data and measurable metrics.

The tools we develop stem from a deep understanding of both the limitations of traditional safety management tools and the untapped potential of cloud computing. We have set out to go beyond digitising paper-based safety reports—we seek to leverage computational power to drive real, actionable insights that help organisations make informed decisions about workplace safety.

Mission: A Data-Driven Evolution of Safety Performance

At SafetyRatios, our mission is to transform safety performance measurement from outdated, static documentation to dynamic, automated systems that allow for real-time insights and predictive analysis. Safety should not be managed through lagging indicators alone; rather, it should be driven by proactive measures that anticipate and prevent risks before they escalate into incidents.

We believe that an effective safety management system should not just record what has happened but also provide the analytical tools to determine why it happened and how it can be prevented in the future. Our goal is to equip project teams, safety professionals, and executives with meaningful, actionable data that integrates seamlessly into their operations—reducing risks, preventing accidents, and fostering a culture where safety is seen as an enabler rather than a burden.

Vision: Enabling a New Era of Safety Intelligence

Our vision is a world where safety data is not just collected but truly utilised to drive meaningful change. Too often, safety reporting is an administrative exercise rather than an analytical one. We want to see a shift where organisations move beyond compliance-based approaches and into intelligence-driven safety management.

We imagine a future where:

• Cloud-based safety systems go beyond simple data storage and become powerful analytical tools.
• Safety culture is no longer a vague concept but an empirically measurable outcome of specific inputs.
• Accident investigations evolve into scientific reconstructions of real, measurable failures, rather than post-incident guesswork.
• Predictive analytics in safety management help identify patterns before they result in harm.
• Decision-makers rely on real-time, data-backed insights to mitigate risks proactively.

Our job will be considered done when project and operations teams no longer view safety as a separate function but as an intrinsic, data-supported part of every operational decision.

Why We Do It: A Systems Approach to Safety Culture

At SafetyRatios, we operate on the principle that safety culture is not an abstract ideal—it is an emergent property of the systems and processes in place within an organisation. We believe that focusing on inputs rather than merely reacting to outcomes is the key to shaping strong safety cultures.

We acknowledge that safety culture is always present—whether in a positive or negative form. Our objective is to bring clarity to the underlying elements that contribute to both good and poor safety cultures. By focusing on measurable safety metrics, we aim to provide organisations with the tools they need to proactively influence their safety culture rather than simply react to safety incidents.

Our Approach: From Traditional Metrics to Advanced Safety Ratios

Traditionally, safety performance has been measured using broad metrics such as accident frequency rates and lost time incident rates. While these indicators have their place, they do not provide a comprehensive view of an organisation's safety health. Our approach is to refine these metrics and introduce new ratios that offer deeper insights.

By refining traditional metrics and introducing new ones, we provide organisations with the tools to assess safety performance in a way that aligns with real-world operational dynamics. We believe that an industry-wide shift towards more meaningful and transparent safety metrics can drive genuine improvements in workplace safety and ultimately reduce the global rate of workplace accidents and fatalities.

Addressing Industry Challenges: Why We Must Do More

Despite significant advancements in technology, workplace fatality and serious incident rates remain stagnant in many industries. This is not due to a lack of effort but rather a lack of effective, data-driven strategies for preventing accidents. Many safety management systems still rely on outdated reporting methods that do little to prevent future incidents.

We seek to challenge the status quo by:

• Fostering a culture of transparency in safety reporting by enabling systems that highlight demonstrable efforts to do the right thing—ensuring that even when accidents occur, the focus is on learning and improvement rather than blame.
• Equipping project and operations teams with tangible, measurable metrics that go beyond regulatory compliance to drive meaningful safety enhancements.
• Accident investigations evolve into scientific reconstructions of real, measurable failures, rather than post-incident guesswork.
• Shifting the industry discourse from cloud systems that merely digitise paper-based processes to solutions that leverage the full power of cloud computing to transform management systems.
• Embedding cloud computing, big data analytics, and artificial intelligence• as core support systems—not as marketing buzzwords, but as tools that drive real, data-driven improvements in safety outcomes.

Our Limitations: Transparency in Our Capabilities

While our team comprises highly qualified and experienced safety practitioners, we acknowledge that our expertise is bound by our specialisms. Our methodologies are based on a combination of the best academic research available and our own operational experiences in workplace safety.

However, we are not legal practitioners, and our tools are not designed to serve as substitutes for legal safety obligations in any jurisdiction. Instead, they serve as enhancements to safety management strategies, providing new perspectives and supporting organisations in fostering a strong safety culture.

It is important to note that our dashboards and analytical tools do not endorse or critique any government policies, organizations, or individuals. Our sole aim is to refine safety outlooks and redefine safety performance through the power of advanced computing and data-driven analysis.

Our End Goal: A Safer, Data-Driven Future

At SafetyRatios, we are committed to transforming the safety management landscape by empowering organisations with intelligent, predictive, and actionable safety metrics. Our mission is not just about compliance—it is about changing the way safety is perceived, managed, and integrated into daily operations.

Through our advanced data analysis and curated dashboards, we aim to equip industries with the knowledge and tools they need to proactively shape a safer, more accountable work environment. Our success will be measured not just by the adoption of our tools, but by the tangible improvements in workplace safety that they facilitate.

Safety is not just a responsibility; it is an opportunity—to leverage data, to foster accountability, and to create a world where preventable accidents become a thing of the past.
