Abstract: Companies in the Swedish mining industry have introduced numerous safety practices to prevent accidents from occurring, prompting a need for the development of indicators and models focusing on the performance of these practices. The aim of this article is to develop a framework for safety performance indicators, based on safety practices from six companies. Through a study of policy documents and other relevant texts, key practices are described in terms of safety management, safety leadership, safety education, and worker safety engagement. These serve as the foundation for suggestions of indicators and associated measurements, as well as a framework for safety performance indicators. This includes taking important social dimensions into account as a means of increasing the sustainability of safety performance indicator development.
