FAQ's

These KPIs typically include metrics such as the time taken to complete investigations, the accuracy and thoroughness of the findings, and the implementation and effectiveness of corrective actions. By setting these indicators, we ensure that incidents are not only promptly addressed but that we continually improve our safety practices based on data-driven insights.
Implementing our Rule of 2 procedure ensures that SCE remains proactive in dealing with situations as efficiently and effectively as possible. Additionally, the KPIs are regularly reviewed to identify any trends or areas for improvement, further reinforcing our commitment to a proactive and continuous improvement process in managing incidents and accidents.
