Mr. Kesava Pillai is right in saying safety in any organization is a collective job. However, the safety department also has to be assigned Key Responsibility Areas (KRAs). The KRA that you have suggested is correct, but if he is not agreeing to it, then ask for his suggestions and consider what he wants.

Very good interaction. Achieve and maintain zero reportable accidents should be the KRA of line managers or department heads. If this is the KRA for safety professionals, they should be omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent.

Assisting management to prepare safe goals, objectives, and safety management programs.
Assisting management to identify hazards and risks.
Quantifying the risk and suggesting to line managers the type of control measures to be adopted to bring down the risk to an acceptable level from an unacceptable level.
Assisting line managers to develop safe job procedures.
Developing safety rules.
Assisting line managers in carrying out incident investigations to identify root causes of all factors (physical, systemic, and human), and determining corrective and preventive actions required to prevent recurrence.
Conducting audits to identify gaps and areas for improvement in various safety management systems.
Initiating safety programs and activities.
Identifying correct and good quality personal protective equipment (PPEs).
Training line managers in their safety responsibilities.
Coordinating and assisting site heads to conduct safety meetings.
Providing resource information on safety to management and line personnel to carry out activities safely.
Analyzing injuries, incidents, and near misses, and highlighting focus areas to management.
Coordinating with statutory and government authorities to fulfill area-specific legal requirements.
Planning for expected emergencies and training all personnel to carry out their roles to minimize losses.

Dear Abhay,
For measuring your KRA, i.e., "Develop Safety culture in the plant," first, you need to decide the standard you want to achieve in safety. Then, think about the ways you can achieve this. Make each of those "whys" into a quantifiable action point. Look for proactive actions to implement on your site to achieve safety excellence.

Re: Safety - KRA
Your Safety Officer is correct. The responsibility for safety lies with everybody in the organization, especially with line management. The support of top management is essential for the success of any accident prevention program. The Safety Officer is expected to advise the line management on how potential hazards can be eliminated safely and effectively, and how works and operations can be carried out by applying techniques to identify and prevent hazards.
The Safety Officer need not be an expert in all activities within your industry. Therefore, a joint effort is necessary to prevent accidents in the workplace and reduce the frequency and severity of accidents to a minimum.

(Fact Checked)-The user reply is generally accurate in outlining various key responsibilities for a safety officer. However, it's important to note that assigning a KRA of achieving and maintaining zero reportable accidents is a common industry practice and aligns with safety objectives. It is acceptable for HR to set such KRAs for safety departments/officers as safety is a shared responsibility.
