To align safety and productivity, consider implementing safety-driven performance metrics. These metrics measure both safety compliance and efficiency together, ensuring that safety is integrated into performance goals rather than viewed as a barrier. This approach is valuable because it demonstrates that safety enhances productivity by reducing downtime from accidents and improving overall workflow. In workplace safety, safety-driven metrics create a culture where employees understand that being efficient doesn’t mean cutting corners but working smarter and safer. By aligning these goals, you ensure sustained performance and a safer, more productive work environment.

I believe that the construction of this question, in itself, brings a bias towards Traditional Safety, which generally views Safety as separate from the Business. In reality, this is not the case; the Safety goals are the same as those of the Business. When we treat Safety as a Business Partner, help to avoid costs and improve the sustainability and resilience of the Business, which are also its goals. Through modern practices such as HOP - Human and Organizational Performance and DfS - Design for Safety, we fully integrate Security into the Business.

It is not conflicting goals , it is complementary. You cannot have good productivity without safety. Safety is the prerequisite of any other topic such as productivity, quality, cost, reduction.
