UK Chemistry Industry Association (CIA) employee health metrics tool
Every year we use the CIA health metrics indicator tool to score and compare our health programs with industry best practice. The tool measures how we are performing across a range of issues such as health leadership, policies, audits, hazard control, monitoring, wellness support and rehabilitation programs, health promotion and education.
Following the assessment, sites are allocated a score on a scale of A to D:
A ‘Advanced’, B ‘Best Practice’, C ’Controlling’ and D ‘Developing’.
