Standing tab: where you stand vs OSHA and peers

What the Standing tab shows

Standing is the tab inside Safety that answers one question in four numbers: where do you sit against OSHA recordkeeping and against your own paperwork, right now. It absorbed what used to be two separate tabs, Compliance and OSHA 300, into a single readout, so training, policy currency, insurance, and your OSHA 300 log all sit on one screen instead of scattered across two.

Verinode does not grade your safety program or decide what is acceptable. It reads the certifications, policies, insurance records, and incidents you already have on file, along with an anonymized peer figure where one exists, and lays the numbers out so you can see where attention is actually needed. You decide what to do with them.

Where to find it

Open Safety from the sidebar. The Safety card slider opens with five tabs across the top: Findings, All Safety, Standing, Exposure, and Benchmarks. Standing is the third tab. Its header reads "Standing," subtitled "Where you stand, against OSHA regulations, and against the peer network."

If you arrived here from a Take Action tile on the Safety home page (for example a training or policy-currency callout), the tab scrolls straight to the matching card on load.

The four cards

The tab opens with four cards in a two-by-two grid. Each one pairs your own number with a peer figure when the network has enough data on that metric to show one. If a peer line does not appear, Verinode does not yet have a comparable figure for that metric on your cohort, it isn't hidden, it simply isn't there yet.

Training Depth

What it shows. A count of certifications current, written as "X / Y" where X is certifications not currently past their expiration date and Y is the total certifications on file across your team, with the caption "certifications current" underneath.

Expiring warning. If any certifications fall due within the next 30 days, an amber line reads "N expiring in 30d" directly under the count.

Peer line. When the network has a comparable figure, a muted line reads "Peer: N%", the peer's training compliance percentage.

What it means. This card only counts current-versus-total. It does not distinguish which certifications matter most for your service lines, that detail lives on the Certifications card slider, see the certifications overview for how depth is tracked there.

Policy Currency

What it shows. A percentage: how many of your active safety policies are within their review cycle. Underneath, the raw count, "X of Y within review cycle." A policy counts as current when it is active and its review date has not yet passed. If you have no safety policies on file at all, the card reads 100% with "0 of 0 within review cycle", there's nothing overdue because there's nothing to review yet.

Peer line. When a comparable figure exists, a muted line reads "Peer: N%".

What it means. A policy that has drifted past its review date isn't necessarily wrong, but it hasn't been re-checked against current practice or regulation. Renewing the review is a paperwork action, not a rewrite, unless the review itself turns something up.

Insurance

What it shows. A plain count of insurance policies on file, captioned "active policies on file."

EMR line. If you have a workers' compensation policy on file with an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) recorded, a line beneath the count reads "EMR" followed by the value to two decimal places. EMR is the standard workers' comp pricing multiplier: 1.00 is the industry-average baseline, below 1.00 means your claims history is running better than average and you're likely paying less than baseline for coverage, above 1.00 means the opposite.

• 1.00 or below shows in green: your EMR is at or under baseline.
• Between 1.00 and 1.25 shows in amber: trending above baseline, worth a look.
• 1.25 or above shows in bold red: materially above baseline, this is usually the single most expensive number on this whole tab, because EMR compounds directly into your workers' comp premium.

If no workers' comp policy with an EMR value is on file, this line simply doesn't appear, the count still shows.

What it means. EMR is one of the few numbers on this page that is a hard regulatory-adjacent figure rather than a peer comparison, it comes from your carrier's own filing, not from Verinode's benchmark cohort. If it's climbing, the corrective-action closure discipline covered on the Exposure tab (see Exposure: cert wall, insurance gaps, and past-due corrective actions) is usually the fastest lever to bring it back down over time.

OSHA 300 Log

What it shows. A count of OSHA-recordable incidents on file, captioned "recordable on record" (or "recordables on record" when the count is anything other than one).

Peer line. When a comparable figure exists, a muted line reads "Nd since last", the number of days since your most recent recordable incident. A longer streak is better: it means more time has passed since the last event that had to go on the log.

What it means. "Recordable" follows the OSHA definition your incident records already carry, not every incident is recordable, only the ones that meet the OSHA recordability bar. This card is a running count, not a form, if you need the actual OSHA 300 log document for an inspection or annual posting, that's produced from the same incident records, ask IQ or check your incident export.

Cert attention list

Below the four cards, a Cert attention list appears only when at least one certification is expired or expiring within 30 days. It lists up to eight records, expired ones first, then the ones expiring soon, each row showing:

• The certification's title.
• Its kind ("Certification"), a middle detail if one is set, and its status label.
• A small severity dot, colored by how urgent the record is.
• A due badge on the right: how many days remain (e.g. "18d"), or, if it has already lapsed, how many days overdue (e.g. "12d over").

If nothing is expired and nothing is expiring within 30 days, this whole section is omitted, there is no empty-state message to read here because there's nothing to flag.

Rows in this list are informational on the Standing tab itself, click-through to a full record view lives on the All Safety tab (see All Safety: every incident, cert, policy, and insurance record in one list), which carries the same records with full filtering and detail drill-in.

How peer figures work here

Every peer number on this tab comes from a single request the Standing tab makes when the Safety slider loads: a national-scope call to Verinode's safety benchmark resolver. Verinode computes your own value for each metric from your certifications, policies, and incidents, then resolves an anonymized peer figure for the same metric from the network. No individual operator's data is ever exposed, benchmark values are drawn from a cohort, never from any single peer's record, and Verinode never sells any of this to carriers.

Not every metric will show a peer line every time. A peer figure only appears when the network has a comparable cohort for that specific metric. When it doesn't, the card still shows your own number in full, the peer line is simply absent rather than showing a placeholder.

For the full six-metric comparison table, including incident rate, near-miss ratio, and corrective-action closure days, see the Benchmarks tab: Benchmarks: your safety metrics against the peer network.

Using this tab well

1. 1Scan the four cards top to bottom. An amber or red flag anywhere (expiring certs, a policy-currency dip, a climbing EMR) is the fastest signal something needs a decision this week.
2. 2If the Cert attention list has entries, work the expired ones first, then the ones expiring soonest, an expired certification is already a gap, an expiring one is still preventable.
3. 3Compare your peer lines where they appear. A metric where you're meaningfully behind the peer figure is worth a closer look on the Exposure tab, where the same data is pivoted by what's actually at risk rather than what's simply on file.
4. 4If EMR is trending amber or red, check corrective-action closure discipline on Exposure, closing corrective actions faster is one of the more durable ways to bring EMR back down over subsequent renewal cycles.
