The NEB's Background Information enclosure describes deficiencies in its current overview of security and the environment:
The Board currently requires companies to report on incidents, such as releases of substances and serious injuries. These measures are "lagging indicators" because the information provides a historic view. The Board is taking action to promote safety, security and environmental protection by proposing that all Board-regulated companies also report on "leading" performance measures. "Leading" measures are predictive and forward looking, measuring aspects of processes and activities that are likely to contribute to a desired outcome. A mix of leading, lagging and qualitative measures can provide an overview of the effectiveness of a company in meeting program objectives.Read the NEB's letter to Oil and Gas companies at: July 11, 2011 letter.
