The Safety Observation Report is a comprehensive checklist-specific tool designed to provide a detailed breakdown of both positive and negative observations from inspections submitted within a specified date range. By default, the report spans the last 12 months, offering a clear snapshot of safety performance over time.
This report is structured with individual tables organized by category. Each category is represented as a separate table, with specific items listed as rows below. The columns to the right of the table display the number of positive and negative observations for each inspection item. Additionally, a percentage is calculated to highlight the ratio of positive to negative observations.
For example, if there are 6 positive observations and 2 negative ones out of 8, the report will show a positive percentage of 75%.
