Safety and Health Improvement Measure Implementation Management Sheet
Free Excel download
When operating a safety and health management system, various improvement measures emerge from risk assessments, on-site巡回 inspections, the Industrial Safety and Health Committee, worker feedback collection, and accident and near-miss investigations.
However, if you simply record improvement measures in meeting minutes or checklists and leave it at that, it may become difficult to verify later who is in charge, by when the action needs to be taken, whether it has been completed, and where the supporting documents are located.
Particularly in responding to serious accidents and the Occupational Safety and Health Act, it is crucial to distinguish between established improvement measures and those that were actually implemented and verified. Even if risk factors are discovered, it is difficult to demonstrate whether the safety and health management system actually functioned if records regarding the person in charge, budget, completion deadline, implementation status, and re-inspection results are not available.
We have prepared an Excel spreadsheet for the Safety and Health Improvement Measure Implementation Management Table so that Safety and Health managers and HR/General Affairs managers can manage risk assessments, site inspections, worker feedback, and the status of improvement measures following accident investigations all at once.

This Excel file is not a statutory form or a substitute for a diagnosis from a specialized safety and health agency. It is a practical management sheet designed to systematically manage the implementation status and supporting documentation of safety and health improvement measures identified at the workplace.
🔎 Why Managing the Implementation of Improvement Measures Is Important
In a safety and health management system, the record of "discovering a problem" is not the only important thing. Records must also remain verifying how the discovered hazardous factors were improved and whether those corrective measures are actually functioning in the field.
For example, even if the risk of entrapment is identified during a risk assessment, it is difficult to implement actual improvements if the person responsible for installing protective covers and the completion deadline have not been determined. Similarly, if obstructions in the passageway are identified during a site inspection but only temporarily cleared away without leaving any preventative measures, the same problem may recur.
Therefore, the improvement measure implementation management table must be able to answer the following questions.
| Confirmation question | Items to check in the management sheet |
|---|---|
| What risk factors were identified? | Department, Process, Task Name, Risk Factors |
| Where did this improvement measure come from? | Risk assessment, on-site inspection, accident investigation, worker opinions, etc. |
| Who takes action? | Department in charge, execution manager, collaborating department |
| By when must it be completed? | Estimated completion date, actual completion date, number of days delayed |
| Do you need a budget or purchase? | Budget necessity, estimated cost, budget approval status |
| Has the action been completed? | Progress status, completion date, location of supporting documents |
| Has the actual risk decreased? | Results of verifying risk levels and effectiveness before and after improvement |
| Is there a temporary measure in case of a delay? | Reason for delay, temporary measures, changed completion deadline |
You must verify not only whether improvement measures have been completed but also whether actual risks have been reduced to be able to explain whether the safety and health management system is functioning in the field.
🧭 What corrective measures need to be managed?
The Safety and Health Improvement Measure Implementation Management Table allows you to manage not only the results of the risk assessment but also various measures taken during the operation of the safety and health management system.
| Measure source | Examples of improvement measures |
|---|---|
| Risk assessment | Installation of safety devices, changes to work procedures, provision of personal protective equipment, improvement of workbenches |
| On-site巡回 inspection | Removal of obstructions in passageways, anti-slip measures, wire organization, and signage installation. |
| Industrial Safety and Health Committee | Review of worker requirements, budget allocation, and establishment of training plans |
| TBM · Pre-work meeting | Sharing daily risk factors, changing work sequence, assigning signalmen |
| Accident and near miss investigation | Measures to prevent recurrence, facility upgrades, re-conducting training, improvement of work permit procedures |
| Collecting worker opinions | Improvement of uncomfortable protective equipment, supplementation of rest facilities, organization of workspaces |
| External inspection and diagnosis | Improvement of identified issues, supplementation following statutory inspections, and implementation of improvement recommendations |
| Inspection of contractors and subcontractors | Coordination of mixed work, improvement of entry and exit routes, sharing of work information |
When improvement measures originate from multiple sources, they are likely to be scattered across separate checklists or meeting minutes. By operating a single management chart, you can check the progress and completion status at a glance, even if the measures come from different sources.
🧾 Here's how to use the Safety and Health Improvement Measures Implementation Management Sheet
STEP 01
1. First, enter the source of the corrective action.
First, indicate where the improvement measures came from.
- Risk assessment
- On-site巡回 inspection
- Accident investigation
- Near miss report
- Worker proposal
- Industrial Safety and Health Committee
- Inspection of contractors and subcontractors
- External agency inspection
- Executive Inspection
- Other internal inspections
If you identify the sources, it is easy to check later whether the same problem recurs or which activities frequently require improvement measures.
For example, you can write it as follows.
| Action number | source | Departments and Processes | Discovery | Areas for Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-001 | Risk assessment | Packaging process | Possibility of jamming in the lower part of the conveyor | Installation of protective covers and improvement of work procedures |
| 2026-002 | On-site inspection | Logistics warehouse | Temporary storage of materials in the passageway | Storage area marking and periodic inspection |
| 2026-003 | Near miss | Washing room | Slipping on the floor | Installation of anti-slip mats and inspection of drainage conditions |
STEP 02
2. Specifically divide the risk factors and improvement measures.
When drafting corrective measures, it is best to avoid abstract statements such as "strict safety management" or "caution required." You must specifically record what risk factors exist and what needs to be changed so that implementation can be verified.
| Ambiguous record | Improved record example |
|---|---|
| Safety training required | Movement route training conducted for the entire logistics team regarding the risk of forklift collisions with pedestrians. |
| Need to organize | Mark floor lines for the storage area in Building A corridor and add a checkbox to the daily checklist. |
| Strictly wear protective gear | Provide cut-resistant gloves to cutting workers and reflect wearing standards in the work standard manual. |
| Supplementation of protective devices | Check interlock operation after installing the press input guard cover. |
| Risk Re-evaluation | Re-evaluate risk factors for pinching, electric shock, and noise after the introduction of new equipment |
Improvement measures should be written in sentences that allow for verification of implementation whenever possible. Rather than simply writing "training conducted," it is better to link the target audience, training content, implementation date, and supporting documents.
STEP 03
3. Determine priorities and types of action.
It is difficult to process all improvement measures at the same pace. Risks involving the possibility of death or serious injury, or exposure to a large number of workers, must be managed as a priority.
| priority | Judgment criteria | Management method |
|---|---|---|
| emergency | Immediate possibility of accidents, risk of serious accidents, insufficient statutory safety measures | Immediate temporary measures followed by top priority improvements |
| height | Potential for serious injury, repeated exposure, impact on multiple workers | Intensive management after assigning a person in charge and deadline |
| commonly | Items that pose risks but are controllable in the short term | Improvement within the set deadline |
| lowness | Convenience improvements or long-term review items | Set a schedule and budget to track |
If you also classify the types of measures, you can reduce the tendency for improvement measures to be overly focused on protective equipment or education.
| Type of action | example |
|---|---|
| eliminate | Eliminate unnecessary hazardous work, eliminate risk factors |
| Replacement | Change to low-risk substances, tools, and work methods |
| Engineering improvements | Protective devices, local exhaust ventilation, automation, workbench improvements |
| Managerial improvement | Work procedures, work permits, work sequences, personnel allocation |
| Education and Training | New procedure training, TBM implementation, recurrence prevention training |
| protective gear | Provision of appropriate protective equipment and maintenance of wearing standards |
| temporary measures | Until these measures are taken, access will be restricted, signs posted, and monitors stationed. |
If possible, it is advisable to first consider measures to reduce the risk itself, such as removal, replacement, or engineering improvements, and to manage education and protective equipment together as complementary measures.
STEP 04
4. Designate the person in charge and the completion deadline.
The most common reason improvement measures are not implemented is that the person in charge and the deadline are ambiguous.
It is recommended to include the following items in the management table.
- Department in charge
- Executioner
- Coordinating department
- approver or final verifier
- Whether a budget is needed
- Estimated cost
- Estimated completion date
- Actual completion date
- Delay days
- Reason for delay
- Changed completion deadline
Measures requiring budgeting, purchasing, facility construction, or consultation with external contractors are indicated separately. If simple on-site measures and long-term budget measures are managed in the same way, it is difficult to identify the reasons for delays.
STEP 05
5. Manage progress status with a unified value.
If each person in charge uses different status values for corrective actions, it is difficult to aggregate the overall status. The following status values can be used in the management table.
| Progress status | meaning |
|---|---|
| Needs review | A situation requiring further verification of the cause and direction for improvement |
| Planning | Improvement measures, person in charge, and schedule have been determined. |
| In progress | In the process of executing purchasing, construction, training, changes to work procedures, etc. |
| complete | Planned improvement measures applied to the site |
| Verify the effect | A state of re-verifying whether risk has been reduced after improvement |
| Further improvements | Risk remains even after measures are taken, requiring additional countermeasures. |
| hold | Delayed due to budget, process, and schedule issues, requiring temporary measures |
It is important to distinguish between 'completion' and 'verification of effectiveness.' It is difficult to conclude that risk has actually been reduced simply because equipment has been installed or training has been conducted. Even after improvements, it is advisable to re-verify the effectiveness through on-site inspections and worker feedback.
STEP 06
6. Record the location of the supporting documents as well.
Safety and health improvement measures must be managed with supporting documentation rather than merely stating that they have been “completed.”
Examples of supporting documents are as follows.
- Before and after photos of improvement
- proceedings
- Risk Assessment Table
- Revised Work Standard
- Educational materials
- Training Attendance List
- Protective Equipment Distribution Register
- Equipment Inspection Checklist
- Purchase Request
- Quotation/Purchase Order
- Construction Completion Certificate
- External Inspection Report
- Worker Opinion Collection Records
- Re-inspection Result Report
In practical terms, it is more convenient to record the filename, save location, creation date, and person in charge on the management sheet rather than attaching the file itself.
STEP 07
7. Used for semi-annual reviews and management reporting.
It is advisable to create a summary of the implementation status of corrective measures alongside the checklist so that it can be utilized for semi-annual inspections, management reporting, and safety and health management system checks, rather than being a document viewed only by on-site personnel.
You can include the following items in the summary table.
| Summary Items | Confirmation details |
|---|---|
| Total number of improvement measures | Total number of cases registered during the period |
| Number of completed cases | Number of actual completed cases |
| Number of cases where effectiveness was verified | Number of cases where risk reduction was confirmed after improvement |
| Number of delayed cases | Number of cases that exceeded the scheduled completion date |
| High-risk incomplete cases | Number of incomplete cases among urgent and high-urgent items |
| Number of items requiring budget | Number of cases requiring budget allocation or additional approval |
| Number of incomplete cases by department | Implementation Status by Department and Process |
| recurring items | Whether the same risk factor recurs |
The summary status should display high-risk incomplete items, recurring issues, and items requiring budget, rather than simply showing the completion rate, to be useful for actual decision-making.
🏗️ Please also manage measures related to contractors and subcontractors separately.
In workplaces with contracting, service, or consignment relationships, new risks may arise when the prime contractor and subcontractors work in the same location or their work sequences overlap.
The following items may be displayed separately in the improvement measure implementation management table.
- Whether related to contracting or subcontractors
- Prime contractor representative
- Partner company representative
- Whether mixed work is involved
- Whether to share information before work
- Whether access control and work permits are required
- Whether joint improvement measures
- Whether supplier training and TBM are reflected
- Completion verification entity
It is recommended to distinguish improvement measures related to outsourced or subcontractor work from internal departmental actions and to record the person in charge, details of the consultation, and the method for verifying completion.
⚠️ Common mistakes when managing corrective actions
- Only improvement measures are listed on the risk assessment table, and implementation status is not tracked separately.
- Recorded only as “Management Department Action” without a person in charge
- No completion deadline or left only as “for future review”
- It does not distinguish between measures requiring a budget and immediate measures.
- Failure to record the location of supporting documents such as photos or meeting minutes
- Failure to distinguish between temporary measures and fundamental improvement measures
- Treat the implementation of training as improvement completed and do not verify actual behavioral changes
- Ended the review of engineering improvements solely through the provision of protective equipment.
- No reason for incompleteness or deadline for changes left
- Worker opinions were received, but whether improvement measures were reflected was not recorded.
- Failure to check if the same risk factors are recurring
- Failure to clarify the party responsible for measures related to partner companies
- Not linked to semi-annual reviews or management reports
Improvement measure implementation management is not a task for organizing documents, but rather execution management aimed at actually reducing risk factors.
✅ Question regarding verification of effectiveness after completion of corrective measures
After the improvement measures are completed, verify the actual effects through the following questions.
- Were the improvement measures actually applied on-site?
- Are workers using improved procedures or facilities?
- Have existing risk factors been eliminated or reduced?
- Has the risk not spread to other processes or other workers?
- Has a new burden been placed on working time, workflow, and work speed?
- Have the changes been reflected in the training or TBM?
- Do workers complain of inconvenience or danger even after improvements?
- Are the same risk factors being pointed out repeatedly?
- Is additional budget or further improvements needed?
- Is the next inspection date set?
Merely checking completion status may result in corrective measures being merely a formality. You must manage the verification of effectiveness to confirm whether the safety and health management system is actually functioning.
📎 Precautions when using the Safety and Health Improvement Measure Implementation Management Checklist
- This Excel file alone does not determine whether obligations under the Serious Accidents Punishment Act or the Industrial Safety and Health Act have been fulfilled.
- The actual level of measures may vary depending on the industry, scale, processes, facilities, materials handled, work methods, and accident risks of the workplace.
- Risk factors requiring corrective measures must be identified through a comprehensive review of risk assessments, on-site inspections, accident investigations, and worker opinions.
- Improvement measures that do not specify a person in charge and a completion deadline may be omitted from implementation management.
- Before processing completion, supporting documents and on-site verification results are reviewed together.
- High-risk incomplete items are managed by establishing temporary measures and additional reporting criteria.
- Measures requiring budget or personnel are linked to management reporting and the budget formulation process.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. If improvement measures are listed in the risk assessment table, is a separate implementation management table required?
Simply listing improvement measures on the risk assessment sheet can make it difficult to track the person in charge, completion deadline, reasons for delay, supporting documents, and results of effectiveness verification. Using a separate implementation management sheet makes it easier to manage whether actual measures have been completed following the risk assessment.
Q2. When can the corrective measures be considered completed?
The planned measures can be considered completed when they are actually applied to the site and verified through supporting documentation. However, rather than stopping at merely installing equipment or conducting training, it is advisable to confirm the effectiveness by verifying on-site inspections to see if risks have been reduced following the improvements and by gathering feedback from workers.
Q3. How are measures that have exceeded their completion deadline managed?
You must record the reasons for the delay, temporary measures, revised completion deadlines, and whether additional reporting is required. Particularly in cases where urgent or high-risk items are delayed, it is advisable to review whether reporting to management, budget adjustments, work stoppages, or temporary safety measures are necessary.
Q4. Should improvement requests raised by employees also be included in the management sheet?
It is recommended to include worker opinions related to safety and health hazards and risks in the management of corrective measures. Recording whether the feedback was implemented, the reasons for non-implementation, the person in charge, and follow-up notifications can help reduce the likelihood of the feedback collection process becoming merely a formality.
Q5. Who is responsible for managing corrective measures related to subcontractor work?
Regarding measures related to work by subcontractors and subcontractors, it is advisable to identify both the prime contractor and subcontractor representatives and to manage pre-work information sharing, work permits, access control, and the implementation of training and TBMs separately. The specific scope of responsibility may require review based on the contractual relationship, the control, operation, and management of the workplace, and relevant laws.
Q6. Can this management sheet be used as semi-annual inspection data?
If the source of the corrective measures, the person in charge, the completion deadline, the implementation status, the reason for delay, supporting documents, and the results of the effectiveness verification are organized, this can be used for semi-annual inspections and management reports. However, you must verify whether additional items are necessary to comply with the company's safety and health management system standards and legal requirements.
💬 Safety and Health Management System Consultation Inquiry
If improvement measures continue to emerge from risk assessments, on-site inspections, accident investigations, and worker feedback, but the management of personnel, budgets, completion deadlines, and supporting documents is scattered, the implementation management method of the safety and health management system must be reorganized.
Nudge EAP does not replace legal judgments under the Serious Accidents Punishment Act or diagnoses by specialized safety and health agencies. However, it can support the operation of the safety and health management system in the field through internal safety and health communication, gathering of worker opinions, management of psychological burden after accidents, and linkage with manager responses and EAP counseling.
