Getting started with Safety Metrics

Learn how to enter work hours, understand safety metric fields, and view your organisation’s safety performance on the Safety Metrics dashboard

The Safety Metrics dashboard helps your organisation track key health and safety performance indicators automatically.

 

By entering total work hours each month and recording incidents consistently, the system calculates standard metrics like AFR, LTIFR, and TRIFR and displays them in a single analytics dashboard.

 

Adding total monthly work hours

Account Owners are responsible for entering the organisation’s total work hours each month. These figures are used to calculate all safety metrics.

  1. Go to Object Manager → Events → Safety metrics.

     

     

  2. Use the year selector to choose the correct year.

     

     

  3. Click on the pencil icon and enter your organisation’s monthly totals for:

     

    • Average number of employees

    • Average number of contractors

    • Total employee hours worked

    • Total contractor hours worked

       

  4. Click Save to record the data.

 

 

 

Once saved, the system automatically calculates total hours worked (employee + contractor) for each month.


You can edit previous months if needed, but you can’t enter data for future months.

 

Standard safety metric fields in Events

To ensure that the Safety Metrics can be calculated, you will need to ensure that the Safety Metrics fields are filled in on the Details tab.

 

These default fields already exist in your account - you do not need to create them in the field manager. You just need to add them into your Event record using the Layout editor.

 

These include:

  • Recordable incident: confirms whether the event should count toward recordable statistics.

  • RIDDOR reportable: identifies incidents that meet RIDDOR reporting requirements.

  • Lost time injury: marks incidents that led to lost work time.

  • Absence start and end dates: used to calculate total absence days.

  • Near miss: identifies near-miss events.

  • Person type: distinguishes between employees and contractors.

 

Completing them accurately ensures your metrics and dashboard calculations are correct.

 

 

How safety metrics are calculated

Once you’ve entered work hours and completed the safety metrics fields, the system automatically calculates your key safety metrics:

 

If both employee and contractor hours are entered, the system also provides separate calculations for each employees and contractors.

 

Viewing the Safety Metrics dashboard

The dashboard gives you a clear view of your organisation’s safety performance over time.

 

You can access it through Analytics:

 

 

You can:

  • View summary tiles showing your current metrics.

  • See trends over time in line charts (monthly, quarterly, or yearly).

Permissions and access

  • Only Account Owners with Object Manager access can enter or edit work hours.

  • Any user with dashboard access can view the calculated metrics.

  • All data is validated to prevent errors such as negative or non-numeric values.

Tip: Enter your work hours regularly and keep your event data accurate to maintain reliable, automated safety reporting.
