Predictive Safety Analytics - Reducing Risk through Modeling and Machine Learning

Nearly all our safety data collection and reporting systems are backward-looking: incident reports; dashboards; compliance monitoring systems, and so on. This book shows how we can use safety data in a forward-looking, predictive sense. It contains real use cases where organizations have reduced incidents by employing predictive analytics.

List of contents

1. Safety in Numbers: A Data-Driven Approach. 2. Analytics Defined. 3. The Safety Data Repository. 4. Use Cases. 5. Where to Go from Here.
