How the score works

What matters for manufacturing

  1. Safety training records

    OSHA requires employers to train workers who face hazards on the job. Onboarding should assign that training by role and keep completion dates you can show in an audit.

  2. Templates by plant, line and shift

    A press operator and a forklift driver need different steps. Check that templates vary by plant, role and shift without duplicating every task list.

  3. Kiosk and shared-device access

    Many new hires have no work computer or email. Check that forms can be completed on a phone or a shared kiosk with a secure sign-in.

  4. Equipment and uniform tasks

    Safety gear, badges and uniforms should be assigned and confirmed as tasks, so they can be recovered when someone leaves.
