Create flexible and intuitive health and safety dashboards
Our best of breed of indicators will save you valuable time and effort in monitoring safety performance metrics.
Safety metric examples included with the software are total recordable incident rates (TRIR), total OSHA recordable incidents, and much more.
KPIs, Dashboards, and Operational Metrics: A Guideline. The current economy has united companies large and small with a common objective - to do more with less. Getting more out of business data is one of the coping strategies being employed to extract better information from the terabytes of data flowing through an enterprise.
You can also create your own custom charts and graphs to track the safety KPIS that are most important to you.
Gain valuable insight into your organization with safety KPIs
Senior executives, managers, front-line employees, and safety professionals can create their own personalized dashboard views.
Filter your data by business group, team, or project to see how you are progressing in your safety key performance indicators (KPIs).

In conjunction with IndustrySafe's other modules — including incidents, training, observations and inspections — our robust health and safety dashboard arms safety coordinators with sophisticated tools for managing safety.
-->A Power BI dashboard is a single page, often called a canvas, that tells a story through visualizations. Because it is limited to one page, a well-designed dashboard contains only the highlights of that story. Readers can view related reports for the details.
Dashboards are a feature of the Power BI service. They're not available in Power BI Desktop. You can't create dashboards on mobile devices but you can view and share them there.
Dashboard basics

The visualizations you see on the dashboard are called tiles. You pin tiles to a dashboard from reports. If you're new to Power BI, you can get a good foundation by reading Power BI basic concepts.
Important
You need a Power BI Pro license to create dashboards.
The visualizations on a dashboard come from reports and each report is based on a dataset. One way to think of a dashboard is as an entryway to the underlying reports and datasets. Selecting a visualization takes you to the report (and dataset) that it's based on.
Advantages of dashboards
Dashboards are a wonderful way to monitor your business and see all of your most important metrics at a glance. The visualizations on a dashboard may come from one underlying dataset or many, and from one underlying report or many. A dashboard combines on-premises and cloud data, providing a consolidated view regardless of where the data lives.
A dashboard isn't just a pretty picture. It's highly interactive and the tiles update as the underlying data changes.
Dashboards versus reports
Reports and dashboards seem similar because they're both canvases filled with visualizations. But there are major differences.
