The key takeaways are that monitoring, measurement and self-assessment are essential parts of a successful HSE (Health, Safety and Environmental) management system. They provide feedback on controlling HSE aspects and detecting/correcting weaknesses. Both proactive and reactive monitoring have value in achieving a strong HSE system.

The minimum requirements for monitoring and measuring HSE activities and performance according to the document are: reactive and proactive measures of performance; monitoring progress on HSE objectives; performance of operational controls; compliance assessments; corrective action assessments; stakeholder concerns process; AOP requirements; and monitoring frequency based on significance of aspects and risk assessment results.

Some examples of proactive measures are equipment inspections, preventative maintenance programs, behavior observation programs, workplace sampling, audit/risk assessment/self-assessment results and health surveillance. Examples of reactive measures are monitoring accidents, injuries, environmental excursions and near misses.

CORPORATE HEALTH, SAFETY, ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Monitoring, Measurement and Self-Assessment

1. APPLICABILITY
1.1 This standard is applicable to all Honeywell organizations and majority owned
subsidiaries worldwide.

2. OVERVIEW
2.1 The process of regularly monitoring and measuring HSE activities and performance is
an essential part of a successful management system. It provides critical feedback in
two fundamental areas:
2.1.1 Ensuring the organization’s significant HSE aspects are being controlled
2.1.2 Detecting and correcting program or control weakness in order to prevent
incidents such as injuries, illness, environmental damage or regulatory violations
Both proactive and reactive monitoring has value in achieving a strong HSE
Management System and this standard drives development in both directions. A
significant proactive measurement and management tool is self-assessment. Self-
assessment involves the regular and comprehensive evaluation of an organization’s
program compliance and effectiveness.
Awareness of significant HSE aspects and development of controls are both critical and
valuable elements of a management system. An organization can only manage
significant HSE aspects effectively when regular monitoring, measuring and self-
assessment are included as a core part of the management system.

monitoring and measurement program as a performance measure
4.2 The organization shall conduct and document periodic trend analysis on HSE
monitoring, measurement and self-assessment results. As a minimum trend analysis
shall be conducted annually.

well as trend analysis results must be incorporated into the management review
process, aspects and impacts assessment, objectives planning and development of
corrective/preventive actions.
