Measure What Matters: Tracking Events with SIF-potential
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Traditional safety metrics like Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) don’t always reflect the risks that lead to the most serious outcomes on construction sites. In this episode of Beyond Prequalification, hosts Dave Tibbetts and Shayne Gaffney explore why tracking Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIFs) and SIF-potential events provides a more accurate view of jobsite safety.
They define SIFs and SIF-potential events, explain how to identify high-risk exposures, and share insights from Highwire’s SIF working group on categorizing events, uncovering root causes, and avoiding over-reliance on recordable rates.
Whether you’re a construction owner, general contractor, or safety professional, you’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of SIFs and learn practical strategies for implementing SIF-potential tracking.
