Analysis of FY 2019 Results
The AOC measures progress toward this objective through six KPIs. The AOC met the targets for two KPIs in FY 2019. In addition, this fiscal year, the AOC implemented initiatives to customize emergency action and response plans and conducted emergency exercises to strengthen staff awareness and preparedness for various potential emergencies. The AOC also worked to align the internal Emergency Action and Response Plans (EARPs) to the Base Emergency Action Response Plan and coordinated two agencywide exercises. The AOC also developed and piloted an emergency preparedness training program for the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center and began training additional jurisdictions. Additionally, the AOC developed a 32-point inspection checklist to aid in facility safety, fire and environmental inspections of operating space and facilitated agencywide training that provided a sample site walkthrough using the checklist.
Injuries and Illnesses Rate (IEW KPI 8)
This annual KPI assesses the AOC’s ability to ensure a safe workplace. The AOC’s target is to achieve a lower rate of injuries and illnesses (I&I) in FY 2019 than in FY 2018. In FY 2019, the AOC

achieved an I&I rate of 2.23 — a slight improvement over the FY 2018 rate of 2.33. See Figure 36. To reduce the agency’s I&I rate, the AOC’s Safety, Fire and Environmental Programs office developed a streamlined process to improve injury and illness reporting across the agency and to support better data analysis. The most common injuries in FY 2019 were from sprains and strains, while the most frequent causes of injury were related to inattention and overexertion. To address these causes, the AOC created a handout for supervisors and employees that identified the AOC’s top reported injury types and provided helpful tips for preventing these injuries. The AOC distributed the handout at an agencywide wellness fair, posted it to the employee intranet and promoted it within the supervisor’s safety newsletter. The AOC also began implementing ISMS to build and sustain an enterprise approach to safety and to incorporate best safety behaviors and procedures (for more information, see Capitol Highlights: Integrated Safety Management System).
Injuries and Illnesses Rate (Rolling Five-Year Average) (IEW KPI 9)
This annual KPI measures the long-term AOC workplace safety trends through the rolling average I&I rate for the previous five fiscal years. The AOC uses the five-year rolling average because
