A monthly safety scorecard from your own numbers.
Enter a month of numbers: hours, recordable cases, near misses, inspections, training and corrective actions. The scorecard shows the leading indicators, which are what you did to prevent harm, beside the lagging ones, which are what already happened. Print it for the safety meeting.

This works out the rates from the numbers you type. It doesn’t pull anything from your records, and it is an estimate only as good as those numbers. One month is a small sample, so a rate can swing with a single case. Nothing you type is saved or sent.
Type a month of numbers and the scorecard shows up here, ready to print.
This does arithmetic on what you type. Nothing leaves your browser. Check the result against your own rules and procedures.
What's on it
- Leading: inspections done, training completed, corrective actions closed on time, and near misses reported.
- Lagging: recordable cases, and the month's TRIR and DART rate. The math is the same as the TRIR calculator: cases times 200,000, divided by hours worked.
- How each number was reached, so a reader can see 4 of 5 inspections and not just a rate.
Reading it
- One month is a small sample, so a rate can swing with a single case. Use the year to date for trends. A rise in near misses reported often means people are reporting more, not that more is happening.
- It works out the rates from the numbers you type and doesn't pull anything from your records. It is an estimate as good as those numbers. Nothing you type is saved or sent.
Run this in the field.
Reports counts inspections, training, incidents and corrective actions from the work your people already did, so the numbers come from the records and every one opens the records behind it.

Common questions
- What are leading and lagging indicators in safety?
- Lagging indicators count harm that already happened, like recordable cases and lost days. Leading indicators count what you did to prevent it, like inspections done, training completed and corrective actions closed on time.
- How is TRIR worked out?
- Recordable cases times 200,000, divided by the hours all employees worked. The 200,000 stands for 100 full-time employees working a year. The TRIR calculator on this site shows the formula.
- Why show how a number was reached?
- A rate on its own hides the size of the sample. Showing 4 of 5 inspections done tells the reader more than a percentage does.

Glossary
Leading indicator
A leading indicator measures safety activity before anyone gets hurt, like inspections done, hazards fixed and observations made.
Glossary
Lagging indicator
A lagging indicator measures safety results after they happen, like injuries and lost days. It tells you what went wrong, not what's about to.

Total recordable incident rate
TRIR is the number of OSHA recordable injuries and illnesses, scaled to 200,000 hours worked, so sites of different sizes can be compared.
