Evolution of safety performance indicators is the best tool for gauging safety performance. The methodology adopted help in determining the main contributor for accident & determining the cause, leaning about what practice went wrong so that to prevent recurrence of such accidents & adopting best practices to improve safety performance. Safety Indices which include lagging & leading indicators is used as tool for safety performance measurement for assessment of relative performance of safety management system. In the present study we used quantitative technique for analyzing the safety management system of DCCPP Plant by evaluating safety performance indicator frequency rate/ Severity rate/Incidence rate/ Injury Index. Quantitative measurement of safety performance gives a proper valve & clear information about the most & least unsafe work in terms of lost time injuries & man days lost between the consecutive years & to find out the deficiency or draw back in safety management system & to suggest the safety measures area where safety improvement is necessary to raise its safety performance for fulfilling the objective of analyzing safety management system effectiveness & reliability. For each accidents IS 3786:1983 classifies a set of corresponding causes which identifies the root cause of accident it is observed that Industrial safety at DCCPP Plant has been maintained at a high level but spite of tightening of safety measures some fatalities have occurred which indicate further improvement in safety management system The study was limited to examine the trends for period 2012-2016. The safety performance is gauged as per IS 3786:1983 which is based on safety Indices Frequency rate, severity rate, & incidence rate.
