Building an EHS scorecard your executive team will read

A one-page EHS scorecard read top to bottom in five bands: a context strip carrying hours worked, outcome tiles for TRIR and DART, four to six leading indicators, one 24-month trend chart, and a named exceptions block.A one-page EHS scorecard read top to bottom in five bands: a context strip carrying hours worked, outcome tiles for TRIR and DART, four to six leading indicators, one 24-month trend chart, and a named exceptions block.

The monthly EHS pack is fourteen pages. Page one is a heat map, pages two through nine are charts by site, and the executive team has read the first tile and formed a view before the meeting starts. Everything after page one is being produced for an audience of nobody.

An EHS scorecard that gets read is one page, holds about a dozen numbers, and answers three questions in order: are we hurting people, is the system that prevents that working, and what specifically is off track and who owns it. Everything else is appendix. This is a layout for that page and the traps that ruin it.

What belongs on the page and what belongs in the appendix?

Rates and counts belong on the page. Narratives and per-site detail belong in the appendix.
