Performance Analysis¶
What is good. Zero RIDDOR reportables, zero lost-time injuries, zero dangerous occurrences and zero road traffic accidents across three years of excavation, confined-space and highway working. For twenty field teams doing this kind of work that is a strong record.
Near misses and close calls. Both rows stand at zero across the three years. Twenty field teams working in trenches, on live carriageways and around live mains generate near misses, so zero is an absence of data rather than an absence of events.
Capture runs through the routes the crews already use — the Works group day to day and the operational NCR register held at the office, which is maintained as events happen. Both are reviewed at the weekly compliance call and anything reportable is recorded. This is objective H4 in APP_11, owned by Leanne Mason and Jason May. No numeric target is set on the crews: a count target produces reports written to hit a number rather than reports of what happened.
5. Key Performance Indicators¶
| KPI | Target | Current Status | RAG Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| RIDDOR Incidents | 0 | 0 | 🟢 |
| Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) | 0 | 0 | 🟢 |
| Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) | < 1.0 | 0 | 🟢 |
| Near misses and close calls recorded | No count target; routes reviewed weekly | 0 recorded to date | 🟡 |
How the RAG status is set
| RAG | The test |
|---|---|
| 🟢 Green | The target is met. |
| 🟡 Amber | The arrangement is in place and being followed, but it has not yet produced the data the measure depends on. |
| 🔴 Red | The target is not met. |
Near-miss and close-call reporting sits at amber on that test. The two capture routes are in use and reviewed at the weekly compliance call, and no report has yet come through them.

Audit trail¶
| Issue | Date | Approved By | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 01/06/2024 | Aaron Mason, Director | Initial issue. |
| 2 | 01/06/2025 | Aaron Mason, Director | Annual review. |
| 3 | 01/06/2026 | Aaron Mason, Director | Annual review — content reaffirmed. Calendar references rolled forward (2024 / 2025 → 2025 / 2026 YTD; Monthly Breakdown now shows current-year 2026 YTD with May cutoff at 13/05/2026). All categories remain zero across the 2025 full year and 2026 YTD — Zero Harm record maintained. Feeds APP_11 H1 KPI. Cross-references refreshed. |
| 4 | 09/09/2026 | Aaron Mason, Director | Near-miss and close-call reporting restated. The register recorded both at 🟡 "to be improved" against targets of more than ten and more than twenty a month, when the actual figure has been zero for three years. That is an absence of data rather than an absence of events, and understating it left the most likely audit question unanswered. The two count-based KPIs were withdrawn and replaced with a single measure of whether the capture routes are in use and reviewed, banded against the RAG key on this page. The performance analysis is rewritten to separate reactive performance, which is genuinely excellent — zero RIDDOR, zero lost-time injuries, zero dangerous occurrences and zero RTAs across three years — from the reporting position, where zero recorded is an absence of data. Raised as objective H4 in APP_11 with no numeric target set until the cause is understood, and linked to the H&S culture survey owned for issue by 19/09/2026. |
How this document is approved
This document is maintained under AMWS's continuous-compliance model. Substantive revisions are reviewed and signed off by the Directors at the standing weekly Director / HSQE compliance call (Sean Ashton, Onyx + Leanne Mason). Currency, cross-references and minor edits are checked at the monthly Onyx site visit. The annual Management Review (September) provides the strategic-level confirmation. Compliance is therefore continuous, not gated on a single annual meeting.
