Risk Assessment Score Ranges

The score range allows customers to define the risk rating (green, amber, red) of the activity based on the answers provided by the employee. The risk rating is determined by summing the score of all the answers and qualifying the rating based on the score range configured. Note that the higher the score, the higher the risk rating.

The score range must be configured for each activity type. To setup:

Enter the Green Score To value. This is upper range of Green rating. Green rating implicitly starts from 0 to the Green Score To value.
Enter the Amber Score To value. This is upper range of Amber rating. Amber rating implicitly starts from the Green Score value + 1 to the Amber Score To value.
Enter the Red Score From value. This must be Amber Score To value + 1

In the example below, Green is any score from 0 to 0, Amber is 1 to 7, and Red is anything from 8 and above.

Filling out the Risk Assessment

Once the template has been configured for the activity type, the questions will appear in the TraXu mobile app. The user will be required to fill out the checklist prior to starting the activity.

Note that having a high risk rating will not prevent the user from starting the activity.
