Safety Scores: how Superintendents, Project Managers and projects are scored
How each project is scored every month, how scores roll up to each Superintendent and Project Manager, what is tracked, who can see and rate, and how to download the reports.
Safety Scores score every project each month and roll the scores up to the Superintendents and Project Managers who run them. A Superintendent's card lists each of their projects with its own score, then their total, so you can see which job did better or worse. Open Safety Scores in the menu, or click the Safety Scores card on the Dashboard.
One Procore instance or all of them
With more than one Procore instance connected, choose at the top: All instances, or one instance. With one instance, only its projects are scored, and each Superintendent's and Project Manager's card counts only their projects there. Company report (PDF), CSV and each person's PDF follow the choice; the CSV has a Procore instance column. The choice is shared with the Dashboard. See Several Procore instances.
What is tracked
- Incidents recorded in LaunchPad Safety on the project: injuries, near misses, property damage and environmental releases, by the date they happened.
- Toolbox talks and JSAs filed in LaunchPad Safety on the project by its Superintendent.
- The Safety Officer's rating of the project for the month, 1 to 10, with a note saying why.
Hours worked are not used: they aren't recorded consistently enough to compare projects fairly.
How a project is scored
- Incident points. Each incident costs points by type and severity (fewer is better). The defaults:
| Incident | More severe | Less severe | More severe when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fatality | 100 | 100 | — |
| Lost-time injury (days away) | 40 | 25 | More than 30 days away |
| Restricted duty / job transfer | 20 | 12 | More than 30 days restricted |
| Recordable injury (medical treatment) | 10 | 6 | Emergency room or hospitalized overnight |
| First aid only | 3 | 1 | Treated at an off-site clinic or ER |
| Environmental release | 15 | 4 | Marked more severe by Safety (e.g. reportable) |
| Property / equipment damage | 10 | 3 | Estimated cost $10,000 or more |
| Near miss | 2 | 0 | High potential (marked more severe by Safety) |
Injuries are scored from their OSHA outcome on the incident, one line per injured person. An injury whose recordability isn't decided yet counts as first aid until it is. Safety can mark any incident more or less severe on the score (it changes the score only, never the incident or the OSHA log). A near miss that isn't high potential costs nothing, so reporting near misses never hurts a score. 2. Credits. Each toolbox talk and each JSA the Superintendent files on the project takes 1 point off the incident points (one talk and one JSA a day count). Credits take off at most half the incident points and never apply to a fatality. 3. Performance = 70 minus the incident points left after credits (never below 0). 4. Safety Officer's rating = the rating × 3 (up to 30). A project not rated yet counts as 5 and is marked Not rated. 5. Project score = performance + rating, out of 100.
A person's total is the average of their projects' scores; every project counts the same. People are ranked by their total, highest first.
Who is scored
- People with a LaunchPad Safety seat. Subcontractors are not scored, and nor are people who are only in Procore.
- A Superintendent is scored on the projects where Procore names them Superintendent (or Assistant Superintendent; where a project has no Superintendent, its Foreman), and on any project where they filed talks or JSAs. A Project Manager is scored on the projects where Procore names them Project Manager.
- They're matched to Procore by the email they sign in with: it must be the same as their email in the project's Procore Directory.
- Someone who runs projects in more than one Procore instance is scored on all of them under All instances, and on each instance's projects only when you choose that instance.
Rate a project (Safety Officer)
- Open Safety Scores, choose the month (and, with several Procore instances, the instance), and open a Superintendent's card (or the Projects view).
- Click the project. Under Safety Officer's rating for this month, choose 1 to 10 (10 is best) and write the note: what went well and what needs work. The note is required.
- Click Save rating. You can update it any time; the note and rating stay on record for that month.
Administrators, Safety Personnel and Project Administrators can rate projects, change an incident's severity on the score, and change the points in Scoring settings.
Who sees what
- Administrators, Safety Personnel, Project Administrators and Executives see every card, the rankings and the company report.
- Superintendents and Project Managers see only their own card, including the Safety Officer's notes.
Downloads
- Company report (PDF): the ranking for the view you're on (Superintendents, Project Managers or Projects), every card and how the score works.
- CSV: every person and project with all the numbers and the Procore instance, for your own spreadsheets.
- PDF on each card: one team member's card with their incidents and the notes.
All three cover the Procore instance you chose (or all of them) and name it.
Good to know
- The Dashboard card shows this month's average and the top and bottom Superintendents for the instance chosen on the Dashboard; click it to open Safety Scores.
- Reporting near misses never costs points unless Safety marks one high potential, so a crew that reports more is never punished for it.
- Year to date adds up incidents, talks and JSAs for the year; its rating is the average of the monthly ratings.
- Scoring settings change the points for every month you look at, including past ones.
