How Not to Burn Through Your Budget... And What Else Is Benchmarking For?

For the first time in Russia, a tool is launching that fundamentally changes the game for every professional and company.

• How to justify the budget to executive leadership?

• How to avoid spending money on a solution that looks great in a presentation but delivers no real-world impact?

• How to identify where your company is lagging behind, which approaches need rethinking, and what is truly worth investing in?

• How to stop evaluating safety solely by LTIFR and gain a true picture of what is actually happening?

• How to assess whether the time and effort invested in safety are paying off, or whether the system is just a box-ticking exercise?

The answer to these questions is provided by HSE DAYS Benchmarking—the country's first independent, free, and anonymous platform for comparing actual occupational safety practices and metrics.

On October 15, we are launching access to the platform and gathering HSE leaders from major industrial enterprises for a round table discussion to explore through real-world case studies how this tool works and how it helps make informed management decisions.

During the webinar, we will discuss:

• How to understand how effectively we manage safety: what internal reporting shows, and which decisions require external benchmarks.

• What to compare beyond injury rates: what data on processes, resources, and practices helps evaluate the effectiveness of occupational safety management.

• How to validate ideas before committing to implementation costs: what you need to know about other companies' experience to assess the viability of a solution and anticipate potential pitfalls.

• How to turn benchmark data into compelling arguments for leadership: how to leverage external benchmarks to justify budget, HSE staffing levels, and key priorities.

• When comparisons can be trusted: how to account for industry, scale, and enterprise risk profiles—and why identical metrics do not always mean identical performance.

• How HSE DAYS Benchmarking will work: what information companies provide, how anonymity is protected, and what participants receive as part of the benchmarking report.

• Where we start together: the topic of the first round, participation guidelines, and data preparation—what your company needs to get started.
