Benchmarking, gap analysis and turning gaps into a plan of action

CSP written lesson, 5 min read. CSP Domain 2: Program Management

Written with AI help from the rules it covers, then fact-checked against them. Study aid, not site-specific safety advice. The official rule controls.

What you'll learn

  • Choose a fair benchmark, such as BLS rates for the same industry
  • Calculate an incidence rate and compare it with a benchmark
  • Run a gap analysis against a written program standard
  • Build a plan of action with owners, timeframes and resources

What this lesson covers

This lesson covers how to compare a site's safety performance with an outside benchmark or a written standard, measure the gap, and turn it into a plan with owners and dates. It matters because CSP questions ask what to compare against and what to do next.
