What is a “Trend”???

Questions You Need to Answer About Trends

QUESTION 1: Have you ever had an accident, and someone in management says, “That looks like a trend to me. We need to do something NOW!” And you think, “It doesn’t look like a trend to me, but how can I prove them wrong?”

QUESTION 2: Have you ever had a regulator tell you that you have problems that look like an adverse trend, and you didn’t know how to respond?

QUESTION 3: Have you ever wondered if a slight improvement in safety statistics is really significant?

QUESTION 4: Have you ever wondered how long it will take without a significant accident until you can say that performance really has improved?

QUESTION 5: Have you ever presented trend data and hoped that nobody asked any real questions because you were just making stuff up?
