> Would someone be willing to offer a brief explanation what is meant by "leading and lagging" and "adapting"?

An example of applying these ideas to a concrete safety topic (ergonomics in this case) can be found at
http://ergo-plus.com/leading-lagging-indicators-safety-preformance/

It's good to remember that all data costs money, so the indicators you decide to use to track your safety program should be selected carefully and a mix of a small number of leading and lagging indicators are easiest to manage.
