Progress charts are visual tools used to track the advancement or completion of tasks, projects, or goals over time. They display data in a clear and concise manner, helping users quickly understand the status of various activities. Common types of progress charts include doughnut charts, gauge charts, and speedometer charts, among others.
SHEQXEL Progress Chart Widgets provides 10 types of commonly used visualization elements ranging from doughnut charts, speedometer charts, traffic light charts, and thermometer charts used for creating unique dashboards. Users can simply input their data, change KPIs, or practice how to create similar charts for their own dashboards.
Application of progress charts in health and safety includes:
- Estimating Level of Compliance: A progress chart can be used to measure the standard of safety at the workplace as far as there is a monitoring activity like workplace inspections and safety audits, which have scoring criteria to estimate a given score indicative of performance against the target of 100%.
- Measuring HSE Key Performance Indicators: Progress charts are used to track the performance of HSE activities or processes within the management system against set targets to indicate the progress of activities against the targets towards the end of the year. HSE activities, or KPIs, include all types of leading indicators such as inspection, safety audits, risk assessment, training, and safety walkthroughs that ensure continual improvement of the management system.
- Measuring Employee Competence: Employee competence can be measured and tracked using progress charts by ensuring that the system of tracking training, i.e., the training matrix, is able to estimate a score showing that the employee has carried out all training as planned to confirm their competence. Also, employee appraisal tools are able to estimate scores indicative of the competence of the fan employee, and this can be shown on progress charts.
- Determining Continual Improvement: Corrective Action Rate (CAR) is the rate at which corrective actions for addressing nonconformance identified from all monitoring activities are closed. That is, closed actions out of the total actions can be represented by progress charts as CAR to compare against a target of 100%, where 100% implies that all actions have been closed within a given timeframe, usually the end of the year.
- Workplace Assessment and Surveys: These are based on individual responses to a set of questions fulfilling the requirement of the survey whether to gather perceptions of risk from physical to psychosocial hazards or safety cultural factors, which can be estimated with a scoring criteria, and the scores of individual elements and the overall score can be represented in progress charts.
