Health and safety professionals preparing reports for time-poor leaders have to provide the right data and adequate interpretation to allow them to focus on governance and risk-control decisions that create the best outcome for the organization and its employees.

Following basic rules on how to select and present information on incidents and inputs to the safety system allows practitioners to report in a way that facilitates those decisions but also helps turn executives into safety advocates who see good occupational safety and health management as key to a thriving business.
