The Scorecard System

• Scoring Criteria• Scoring Categories• Awarding / Subtracting Points• Audit Findings• Recommendations

Scorecard Calculations• The Scorecard is broken out into 9 categories of specific hazards

& control measures in the roofing industry.

• The points for each category will range from 0 to 10.

• Each category starts with 8 points. Additional points can be added for going above minimal standards, and/or points can be subtracted from being below minimal standards.

• The points given in each category will be multiplied by it’s designated weight factor (30%, 10%, or 5%) to develop a category score.

• The nine category scores will be tallied to calculate the cumulative score. The cumulative score will range from 0 to 100 points. A cumulative score of 80 points, or higher, meets minimal standards.

• The jobsite scores are tallied and divided by the number of jobsites visited to determine the member’s average score.

•Fall Protection

•Material Handling

•Ladders & Scaffolds

•PPE

•Housekeeping

•Electrical

•Fire Prevention

•Emergency Preparedness

•General Liability

Determining Category Points:• As previously stated: Every category starts off with 8 points –

meaning the jobsite is meeting minimal standards.

• HC&A has had extensive discussions on how to award points for jobsites exceeding minimal standards, and how to subtract points for jobsites falling below minimal standards.

• HC&A has developed a scoring criteria to be utilized as a guideline for adding and subtracting points.

• If no hazard exists for a particular category, the score is automatically increased to a 10. This is based on the golden rule of loss prevention – Eliminating the hazard is always preferred over controlling the hazard.

Captive Goals for 2006:

1. Consider the use of a guardrail system in lieu of Safety Monitors. 2. Ensure all employees have received comprehensive training on the roles &

responsibilities of the Safety Monitor. HC&A has a downloadable training presentation available on our RCCS, LLC Loss Control Services webpage.

3. Consider purchasing a pre-engineered Horizontal Lifeline System. Again, talk with other members to see what they use & how well they work.

4. Provide proper stairs or ladders for changes in elevations greater than 19 inches. At the same time, stop using sections of cut-up ladders. This is not how the manufacturer intended them to be utilized.

5. Do not leave fall protection systems behind for other trades, unless contractually obligated. If you do leave your fall protection systems in place, make sure they meet minimal OSHA Compliance.

6. Strictly enforce the “NO SMOKING” Policy when working with flammable materials.
