Injuries tell you what already went wrong. Damaged-PPE replacements per 100 people per month tells you what's wearing out right now — a leading indicator you can act on before anyone gets hurt. Log replacements below and watch the trend.
Rate = (total replacements in the month ÷ headcount) × 100. The current month is still in progress. Up or down is not automatically good or bad — a rise can mean faster wear, a task change, or simply better reporting. Investigate, don't blame.
Lagging vs leading. Lagging indicators — injury counts, TRIR, lost-time days — tell you what already happened. Leading indicators tell you what is likely to happen. Damaged-PPE replacements sit on the leading side: torn, worn-out or failed PPE is often the last line of defense, so when replacements climb, exposure is climbing too — usually before anyone is hurt.
Why per 100 people per month. Raw counts can't be compared across sites or over time: a bigger crew replaces more gloves by default. Normalizing per 100 people per month puts every site on the same scale and smooths seasonal swings. Log consistently, the same way every month, and read the trend line — not any single month.
Use it as a trigger, not a verdict. A rising rate means investigate: a change in task mix, new subcontractors, the wrong glove for the job — or workers finally reporting damage instead of hiding it, which is progress. A falling rate means the fix worked, or reporting slipped. Pair this number with your inspection program and your workplace risk assessment, and review it in the same meeting where you review incidents.
