HOW DOES THE SCORING WORK?
Say you have an inspection with a 32 total of items observed, 29 positive observations, and 3 negative observations. If you divide 29 positive by 32 total you will get .90625 and with decimals moved, you get a score of 90.6%(positive).
Another example: 30 observations, 28 positive and 2 negative, the score would equal: 93.3%.
If you add a Severity Rating of Serious (deducts 5 points) to one of the 2 negative observations the score would be 88.3% (93.3% – 5 points). For the other negative observation, you rate it at Critical, this deducts 10 points and the score would be 78.3% (88.3% – 10 points).

The title of the exam is shown in bold at the top of the email text. Click the blue link ‘Toolbox Talk Exam Link’ to launch a browser window to review the material and complete the exam.
The following guide is to be used to help build and conduct training exams using the Safety Reports Safety Training System. Templated exams exist for all content in the Safety Reports library and can also be built for custom toolbox talks.

The purpose of this guide is to show how to set up and manage Required Training in the Safety Reports Safety Training System, using the online admin site and how to ensure training from the mobile app is included as required training, where applicable. The setup of the system requires a combination of Admin settings in ‘Required Training’, ‘Training Events’, and ‘Manage Employees’ to work properly. Required Training is ideal for items that must be recertified periodically, such as CPR, Forklift, etc. but the system is also used to keep records for any required training, OSHA 10- and 30-hour and others.
1. Logon to your admin account,
and choose the ‘Training’ tab, if
among other Safety Reports Products.
On the left-hand side, choose ‘Toolbox Talks’

5. Filtered results will appear, and can view employees attendance or PDF
- Toolbox talks supports video-based training, but, our system can’t host or store video files themselves.
- To add video to a toolbox talk, you need only to add a video link to the text, then save the document as a PDF.
- Safety Reports did this by creating a generic “Watch Video” graphic and using that as a weblink.
- The video link will redirect the app to launch a browser window for mobile users, and requires a web connection to work. That is, this feature will not work for users in ‘offline mode’ but the rest of the toolbox talk content not related to the link will work fine.
- If the video file is somewhere the app cannot ‘find it’ like behind a firewall for instance, this link will not work in the app as part of the toolbox talk.
- All Safety Reports Toolbox Talks which come with video either connect the trainer to a YouTube channel, or the Department of Labor’s website directly, neither of which have any issues playing video
- Best practice, but not required: the device being used to play the video should have a screen large enough to show the video clearly, and a device speaker to play the audio.

Scan
The Safety Reports Safety Scan app allows for inspectors to conduct one of three functions, Inspecting Assets, Editing Assets or Replacing Assets. The following information will show basics of the Inspect Asset function.
This guide gives direction on setup of the Safety Scan product in the Safety Reports Enterprise System. The system is asset-based, built to allow QR codes or manual entry of a unique equipment ID from the field to launch an inspection in the mobile app, with results aggregated for the account in cloud storage reviewable by web administrators. Applications for this product are extremely variable, from routine inspections for fire extinguishers through return to work screenings for employees.
The following guide shows functions and steps to perform inspections using the Safety Scan App from Safety Reports. This system allows assets to be inspected either ad-hoc, by scanning a QR code or entering its Tag number, or in a route built by the account administrator.
