Observation Counts

This report shows the number of observation-type incidents submitted per location or classification. Use this report to see how many observation-type incidents your company has had this month compared to previous months or how many observations your location has had this year compared to last year, for example. The report groups incidents by either classification or incident location, based on your selections. Anonymous submissions are included in the observation count.

Note: This report does not include Near Miss or With Loss incidents.

The bar chart provides a graphical representation of the total observation counts per location or classification for the entire selected date range. This count displays in the last column of the grid.

The grid shows the number of observations per location or classification that are included in the report. Configure the grid to display counts by month, quarter or year based on your selection in the Subtotals parameter.

Observations that do not include a location display in the column, No Location, when grouping by incident location.
