How is a Safety Score Calculated?
A Safety Score is calculated using movement data collected by SafeWork Sensors.
This movement data includes how far an individual bends forward (Bend Angle), how fast an individual bends side to side (Tilt Speed), and how fast an individual twists (Twist Speed).
Bending forward or tilting or twisting the torso while lifting or carrying objects are Risk Factors for ergonomic injury and can impact Safety Scores.
Each “Bend,” “Twist,” and “Tilt” recorded by SafeWork Sensors is analyzed to determine the level of risk it poses to the Industrial Athlete. High risk movements negatively impact Safety Scores.

Managers can work with Athletes to improve their Safety Score by helping them understand Risk Factors and providing coaching on how to lift and carry objects safely.
