In 2015 added Severity Rates to our metrics. The Severity Rate is the number of accepted workers' compensation claims with at least $350 in benefit payments per 100 FTEs.

Understanding and Utilizing MnSAFE Performance Metrics

• Our Quarterly Reports that detail agency level results are generated on the first week of the quarter (March, June, September, and December) and is posted to this website shortly after.
  
  
• Top Leadership involvement serves as the foundation for strong safety culture and is essential to the success of the MnSAFE initiative. Leadership can lend powerful reinforcement to MnSAFE by:
  
  
  • Reviewing MnSAFE quarterly reports when published; and
    
  • Engaging agency management by discussing agency results and current efforts to reduce workplace injuries.
