This principle requires the development of a data-sharing and monitoring culture.

The principle builds on UNIDO’s call to share “knowledge, experiences, innovative approaches and technological solutions” to help one another secure industrial safety globally.[1]

Organisations should commit to building safety knowledge by sharing not only lessons learned and near misses but also best practice, know-how, data, tools and resources across firms, supply chains, sectors and countries.

Organisations should also monitor safety performance through the adoption of coherent metrics motivating continuous and consistent benchmarking of practices.
