Abstract

Measuring the effectiveness of measures implemented to improve safety is multi-dimensional. The method “Safety Measure Effectiveness Assessment Tool” (EAT) described in this paper provides guidelines to assess measures. It distinguishes six levels of measure assessment: (i) the measure itself, (ii) the implementation of the measure, (iii) knowledge, skills and attitudes related to the measure, (iv) actual behavior in daily work, (v) conditions promoting or hindering transfer into daily work, and finally (vi) the measure's effectiveness regarding safety. Applying the EAT requires three steps: (i) indicator definition, (ii) descriptive measurement and, (iii) normative assessment.
