Describe the primary purpose and importance of measuring health and safety performance and how it can provide information on the progress and current status of the strategies, processes and activities used by an organisation to control risks to health and safety.

Measurement information sustains the operation and development of the health and safety management system and so the control of risk by providing information on how the system operates in practice; identifying areas where remedial action is required; providing a basis for continual improvement and providing feedback and motivation.

Plan, Do, Check, Act achieves a balance between the systems and behavioural aspects of management
