Unsafe Categories and Weights
| Unsafe observation categorya | Weight |
|---|---|
| Low | 1 |
| Medium | 3 |
| High | 5 |
| Life-threatening | 10 |
During the safety inspection, all unsafe observations are characterized into one of these categories. A weight is then assigned to the observation in order to calculate a safety performance score that is fair and reflective of the risks incurred.
