How is a Safety Score calculated?

  • Updated

This overview details information on the sections in the Safety Dashboard tab and how points are generated for the score.

In a completed Dashboard, you can see your company’s total safety score and the breakdown of the scoring from each tab. The Dashboard tab displays all of the safety information that you have provided. The scoring is from 0-100, with 100 points possible.

 

If you are located outside of the USA, the scorecard may have slightly different terminology but is still scored as we describe below.
