The Safety home: hero KPIs and the Explore tiles

What the Safety home shows

Safety is where Verinode reads your incident log, your safety policies, and your insurance certificates of insurance (COIs) and turns them into one operational-risk picture: how long since your last recordable, what's about to expire, and how you compare to the rest of the network. Verinode does not file OSHA paperwork or bind a policy for you. It reads what you already have on file, keeps a running count of what needs attention, and lets you decide what to do about it.

The page opens on a hero band (your headline safety number plus two supporting figures), a Take Action row underneath it, a row of six Explore tiles that break the picture into its parts, and a Most Recent strip of individual incidents, policies, and insurance records. This article covers the hero and the Explore tiles: what each number means, how it's computed, and where clicking it takes you.

The hero: Days Without Recordable

At the top of the page, the eyebrow reads Days Without Recordable above one large number: the days elapsed since your most recent OSHA-recordable incident. If no recordable incident is on file at all, this reads 365, a full clean year, rather than zero, so a business with no incident history isn't penalized by looking like it just had one.

Next to the number, a pill shows your training compliance percentage, for example "100% Trained." The pill's color follows how strong that number is: green when compliance is strong, amber when it's borderline, and red when it needs attention.

Below the headline, the supporting line changes with your data:

• With nothing on file yet: "Add Data, incidents, certs, policies, and COIs land here as they come in."
• With cert wall pressure: a count of certs expiring in the next 30 days.
• Otherwise: the same days-without-recordable count restated as a sentence, for example "62 days without an OSHA recordable."

Cert Wall and Insurance Due

Two supporting figures sit beside the hero number:

• Cert Wall, a count of certifications expiring in the next 30 days, labeled "Expiring In 30 Days" when the count is above zero, or "Nothing Expiring Soon" when it's clear. Certification tracking itself, who holds what, coverage gaps, and the renewal calendar, moved to the Certifications section. Because of that move, the Cert Wall figure on the Safety home currently always reads zero and "Nothing Expiring Soon": your actual certification picture isn't missing, it's just surfaced over in Certifications instead. The training pill above follows the same path, which is why it currently always shows 100% Trained.
• Insurance Due, a count of insurance policies expiring in the next 60 days, labeled "Expiring In 60 Days" when above zero, or "All Policies Current" when nothing is due. This one reads live off your insurance policy records, so it moves as COIs age toward renewal.

Both figures turn copper when there's something to act on and sit neutral when there isn't.

The Take Action row

Directly under the hero, a Take Action row surfaces safety decisions, corrective-action, safety-policy, and emergency-plan launch tiles, and an activation tile for the safety agent. This row works the same way as every other section's decision feed, see the decision workspace for how these plan-and-decide surfaces behave generally. Until Verinode has something to say, you'll see one of a few honest empty states instead of a placeholder card:

• No safety records at all: "Build your safety record," with three concrete first steps: upload an OSHA log or incident report, drop your insurance COI or workers' comp policy, or forward training and cert confirmation emails through Connect.
• Records on file but the detector hasn't produced a signal yet: "Still learning your safety record," while Verinode reads your incidents, training compliance, and peer incident-rate patterns.
• Every past signal resolved: "All clear on your safety," naming how many signals you've already worked through.

The Explore row: six tiles

Explore breaks the hero's headline number into six focused tiles. Each one carries its own mini preview chart, and most carry a peer comparison. Clicking any tile opens the Safety detail view directly on the tab and anchor that matches it, so you land on the underlying records instead of just the summary number.

1. All Safety

Your total record count across every kind on file, with a breakdown line: incidents, certifications, policies, and COIs. Its preview is a composition bar showing the relative mix of those kinds. Clicking it opens the All Safety tab, the flat list of every safety record you have.

2. Days Without Recordable

The same headline number as the hero, restated as its own tile so it sits alongside its peers. The sub-line shows your year-to-date incident rate per 100,000 hours worked, the standard OSHA exposure-adjusted rate, when you've had a recordable this year, or "Clean record YTD" when you haven't. The preview is a gauge that fills toward a full 365-day clean stretch: green once you've cleared 90 days without a recordable, amber between 30 and 89, and copper under 30 (or as soon as a recordable lands on the books). Clicking it opens the Benchmarks tab, anchored to the incident-rate comparison. A lower incident rate is better; when your rate is meaningfully off the reference, the tile shows a peer or industry delta underneath the number.

3. Cert Wall

Shows the same cert-wall count as the hero secondary, plus your training compliance percentage in the sub-line. As explained above, this count currently reads zero on the Safety home because per-certification tracking now lives in Certifications; its preview (a dot grid of how many certs on file are flagged) only appears once there's a certification count to show. Clicking it opens the Exposure tab, anchored to training. A training-compliance peer comparison can appear beneath the number when there's a benchmark to compare against.

4. Policy Currency

The percentage of your active safety policies that are still inside their review cycle, meaning their review date hasn't passed, alongside a count of how many active policies you have on file. The preview is a marker chart: your currency percentage plotted against a 90% reference line, colored green at or above 90%, amber between 70 and 89%, and red below 70%. With no active policies, currency reads 100% by default (nothing to be out of date on) and the preview doesn't render. Clicking it opens the Standing tab, anchored to policy currency, with a peer comparison on the currency percentage where one is available.

5. Insurance Renewals

A count of insurance policies expiring in the next 60 days, with a sub-line of "policies expiring in 60d" when that count is above zero, or your total active COI count when everything is current. The preview is a two-bar split of current-and-not-yet-due policies versus the ones inside that 60-day window. This tile doesn't carry a peer comparison; it's a direct read of your own insurance book. Clicking it opens the Exposure tab, anchored to insurance.

6. Incident Follow-Through

The median number of days it takes you to close a corrective action after an incident occurs, mined from the pairs of incidents on file that have both an occurrence date and a corrective-action-closed date. With fewer than two mined transitions the preview is suppressed; with two or more, it's a pace chart, one dot per stage in the mined process, with your follow-through stage lit. The sub-line reads "median days to close a corrective action" once it's mineable, or a prompt to close incidents so Verinode can map your follow-through time when it isn't. Clicking it opens the Exposure tab (it currently lands on the same training anchor as Cert Wall, since Follow-Through doesn't yet have its own dedicated anchor there). When a peer figure exists for this stage, the delta always reads "vs Peer," a lower day count than your peers is good, a higher one is flagged.

Reading the peer numbers

Where a tile shows a delta like "+3 vs Peer" or "-1.2 vs Industry," here's what decides which label you see. When there's enough contributed data from operators like you to compare against a real peer figure, and you've opted into peer benchmarking, the delta reads "vs Peer." When peer data isn't available yet for that metric, Verinode falls back to a published industry research figure and labels it "vs Industry" instead. Either way, if your number is close enough to the reference that the gap wouldn't tell you anything, no delta shows at all rather than displaying noise. Verinode never surfaces the specific number of contributing operators behind a peer figure, it's simply enough or not yet enough to compare against safely. For more on how these comparisons are built, see How benchmarks work and Reading a benchmark.

Best-practice example

Say your hero reads 62 days without a recordable, with Insurance Due showing 2 and Cert Wall showing "Nothing Expiring Soon." Open Explore. The Days Without Recordable tile shows your incident rate is a touch above the peer reference, so that's worth a look even though the streak itself is healthy. Insurance Renewals confirms which two policies are inside the 60-day window, click through to the Exposure tab and start those renewals before they lapse. Policy Currency is sitting at 100%, nothing to do there. Incident Follow-Through shows a median corrective-action close time a couple of days slower than peers, worth raising at your next safety huddle. None of this requires Verinode to file anything on your behalf, it just puts the whole picture in front of you in one pass instead of six separate lookups.
