We measure company health, safety and environmental (HSE) performance using a range of leading and lagging indicators. Leading indicators include metrics for training, leadership commitment, employee involvement and the quality of incident investigations. Lagging indicators include incidents, near misses and days away from work. Leading indicators help drive continuous improvement in our safety performance, while lagging indicators help us assess the success of our safety management efforts. All SWN employees and contractors are evaluated on and held accountable for HSE performance.
