EHS Incident Analytics with Continuous Risk Scoring (PSIF/SIF)

Turn EHS data into action with continuous risk scoring that prioritizes PSIF/SIF prevention. Parakeet Risk unifies incidents, near-misses, hazards, and control effectiveness into live risk scores, powered by Rosella AI for explanations, evidence, and auto‑CAPA—so elevated risks trigger holds and escalations without disrupting your existing tools.

At‑a‑glance explainer

• What it is: A live safety risk model that blends lagging and leading indicators to spotlight PSIF/SIF exposure and automate responses.

• Why it matters: Prevent surprise events by detecting weak controls early and proving effectiveness over time.

• How it works: Connect EHS, training, contractor, and ops systems; scores refresh continuously; policies drive alerts, tasks, and workflow gates.

Key KPIs tracked in one view

Introduction

EHS performance improves fastest when lagging indicators (incidents) and leading indicators (near-misses, hazards, control effectiveness) are analyzed together and converted into continuously updated risk scores. Parakeet Risk operationalizes this by unifying incident analytics, PSIF/SIF vigilance, and auto-CAPA workflows so that elevated scores can trigger holds and escalations across day-to-day operations—without forcing teams to abandon existing tools.

What this solution delivers

• Unifies incident, near-miss, hazard, and exposure data in the EHS Control Center to reveal trend patterns and systemic root causes. See: EHS Safety.

• Computes facility-, line-, team-, and contractor-level risk scores that update as events, training, or controls change. See: Features.

• Links incidents to CAPA automatically and synchronizes actions to the tools teams already use (e.g., Trello, Google Docs, Google Calendar).

• Drives timely escalations via collaboration channels (Slack, Microsoft Teams) and initiates workflow holds (e.g., pause contractor onboarding or flag a job) using policy-driven automations. See: Onboarding, COI verification.

• Keeps compliance current with regulatory change tracking and research assistance from Rosella AI, with QMS-aligned CAPA support for regulated environments. See: Pharma.

Core EHS metrics and definitions (standardized)

• TRIR (Total Recordable Incident Rate): (OSHA recordable cases × 200,000) ÷ total hours worked.

• DART (Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred rate): (DART cases × 200,000) ÷ total hours worked.

• SIF (Serious Injury and Fatality): actual events with life-altering injury or fatality potential.

• PSIF (Potential SIF): incidents/near-misses that could reasonably have resulted in SIF given a small change in circumstances.

• Leading indicators captured: near-misses, hazard observations, energy source severity, control effectiveness, training currency, maintenance backlogs, contractor compliance (e.g., insurance gaps), environmental excursions.

Note: TRIR/DART are OSHA-standard recordkeeping rates; PSIF/SIF practices are widely adopted in modern safety management and align with ISO 45001 CAPA expectations.

Continuous risk scoring: data model and logic

Parakeet converts EHS signals into risk scores at multiple scopes (site, cell/line, team, contractor, supplier). The model is configurable but commonly includes:

• Severity weighting: scales events by consequence (first aid < recordable < DART < SIF), with PSIF multipliers.

• Exposure and frequency: considers headcount-hours, task repetitions, and energy sources present.

• Control effectiveness: credit for engineered/administrative controls and PPE compliance; aging/overdue controls decay score improvements.

• Recurrence potential: elevates score when similar root causes reappear across shifts or assets.

• Time decay: recent events weigh more; closed CAPAs reduce score subject to verification.

• Contextual data: training completion (via Workday, BambooHR, ADP), contractor status (COI), financial exposure (via Sage, QuickBooks, NetSuite)).

Scores update continuously as data syncs in; Rosella can explain score changes, cite evidence, and propose control improvements drawing on internal and external sources. See: Features, Rosella.

Thresholds, actions, and automations

A typical configuration translates scores into operational responses:

Policy logic is configurable to your governance standards; holds operate via workflow gates and required approvals in connected tools rather than “hard-stopping” core systems by default.

PSIF/SIF analytics that prevent surprise events

• Event pyramid analysis: trends the ratio of hazards → near-misses → recordables → SIF to identify risk concentration zones.

• Energy-based profiling: correlates PSIFs with energy sources (e.g., mechanical, electrical, chemical) and task context to steer engineered controls first.

• Contractor lens: cross-references PSIFs with contractor roles and COI compliance to tighten pre-job briefs and access rules. See: COI, Onboarding.

• Verification of effectiveness (VoE): treats CAPA closure as provisional until incident/inspection evidence confirms sustained control performance.

Auto‑CAPA linkage and QMS alignment

• Incident → RCA → CAPA is generated with templates and owner/due dates; documentation is auto-created in Google Docs and scheduled in Calendar.

• Two-way task sync with Trello; discussions and approvals flow in Slack/Teams and are written back to Parakeet for audit trails.

• For regulated sites, workflows align with QMS change control and 21 CFR Part 11 data integrity expectations. See: Pharma.

Operational holds and escalations across the business

• Contractor and vendor workflows: elevated scores can pause onboarding steps until training, COIs, or CAPAs are complete. See: Onboarding, COI.

• Work management visibility: finance/ERP signals (e.g., open PO on a high‑risk line) can trigger manager reviews via NetSuite, Sage, or QuickBooks integrations.

• Human capital triggers: overdue training or access revocations from Workday/BambooHR/ADP can elevate team risk scores and require supervisor acknowledgement.

Dashboards, recordkeeping, and ROI

• TRIR and DART: trend by site, business unit, contractor, and shift; normalize by hours worked; drill into root causes.

• PSIF watchlist: highlights tasks/areas with repeated PSIF signals and weak controls.

• Recordkeeping and audits: streamline documentation and evidence trails; export reports to stakeholders. See: EHS Safety, Features.

• ROI tracking: quantify hours saved on research, documentation, and audit prep; many teams report saving 40+ hours monthly via automation. See: Features, ROI.

Implementation blueprint

1) Connect data sources (EHS events, hours worked, training, contractors, financial/ops) via Integrations. 2) Map taxonomies (incident types, energy sources, controls) and set PSIF criteria. 3) Baseline TRIR/DART and calibrate scoring weights with safety leadership. 4) Pilot on one site/line; validate CAPA linkage and escalation policies. 5) Roll out with governance (score owners, escalation paths, VoE cadence).

Governance, audit trails, and privacy

• Centralized audit trails for incidents, CAPAs, approvals, and communications.

• Role-based access and evidence integrity to support internal/external audits.

• Change logs and time-stamped artifacts retained per your policy. See: Features.

Responsible use and limitations

No software can guarantee zero incidents or a specific percentage reduction. Results depend on leadership commitment, control design, workforce engagement, and continuous verification. Parakeet’s role is to surface risks early, orchestrate timely actions, and prove what changed.
