How records are grouped +× Close
N1
Each description is read in lower case with accents removed. Punctuation separates words.
X1
A report entered twice is excluded: the second entry, marked as a duplicate of the first, is left out of every count.
C1
“Cuts and lacerations” counts a report whose description contains “cut”, “lacerat*”, “blade” or “sharp edge”.
C2
“Caught or pinched” counts a report whose description contains “caught”, “pinch*” or “nip point”.
C3
“Struck by a falling object” counts a report whose description contains “struck”, “fell from” or “dropped”.
C4
“Slips and trips” counts a report whose description contains “slip*”, “trip*” or “wet floor”.
C5
“Strains from lifting” counts a report whose description contains “strain*” or “lifting”.
O1
Categories overlap. A report that matches two categories is counted in both, and once in the total placed.
U1
A description under 3 words is not read. It goes to “For your review”.
U2
A description with no category term goes to “For your review”. It is never forced into a category.
S1
A view of fewer than 10 reports is too thin to show a pattern. The demonstration says so and shows no counts.

Grouping rules for this interactive example.

From source to finding

  1. Read the record.

    Start with the incident and near-miss reports a site already keeps, read in the browser.

  2. Trace the finding.

    Open a category count to see the reports behind it.

  3. Check the evidence.

    See the rule terms found in each report, and what the rules could not place.

Inside the safety console.

One report, with the details behind it.

Bring incident and near-miss reports together, group them by written rules and explore where they concentrate.

A crop of the Plumbline Safety Console with one category count opened: the category name and its number of reports, a status badge reading Not checked yet, and the four reports behind the count, each with its date, plant, line and recorded outcome and, beneath it, the rule term found in its description. Two of the reports are in French.

  1. The count, opened

    One category and the number of reports counted in it.

  2. A report behind it

    Its date, plant, line and recorded outcome.

  3. The matched terms

    Under each report, the words from our rules found in its description.

  4. Checking status

    The console’s own mark of whether this count has been checked.

How the report works

Intake
It reads spreadsheets, Word and text files. Scanned and handwritten pages are not read today.
Rates
These are counts of reports, computed from the file you upload. Injury rates are not computed.
Unplaced
Reports the rules cannot place are counted under “For your review”, grouped by reason, not forced into a category.
Sparse
A view with fewer than ten reports is too thin to support a conclusion. The console says so and stops.
Accuracy
Our accuracy checks so far are internal and provisional.
Tracing
A count does not yet trace to its exact row or cell, and a third party cannot yet re-run the check. That is the standard we are building toward.

What we build.

Running today

Workplace safety analytics

We read the incident and near-miss reports a site already keeps and measure where they are concentrating: by cause, work area and site, and how that mix changes across the years in the file.

In development — working prototype

Compliance evidence systems

A record in which each automated scan, human approval and correction is signed and linked to the one before it, so a missing or altered entry is detectable. It is not yet part of a shipped product.
