What's Included

Excel workbook (.xlsx) with 6 integrated sheets:

• Instructions - Quick start guide with sheet descriptions and step-by-step setup tips
• Dashboard - Real-time safety KPIs: total inspections, open issues, resolution rate, days since last incident, severity breakdown pie chart, and corrective action status bar chart. All formulas update automatically from other sheets
• Daily Safety Checklist - Date, inspector, site location, and 8 checklist categories (PPE Compliance, Fall Protection, Scaffolding, Electrical Safety, Excavation Safety, Housekeeping, Fire Prevention, Signage & Barricades) with Yes/No/N/A dropdowns. Auto-calculated score and Pass/Fail result per inspection
• Incident Log - Date, time, location, description, severity (Minor/Moderate/Serious/Critical dropdown), injured party, root cause, corrective action, status (Open/In Progress/Closed), and follow-up date. Color-coded severity formatting
• Corrective Actions - Action ID, related incident, description, assigned person, due date, status (Pending/In Progress/Complete/Overdue), completion date, and verification notes. Overdue items highlighted automatically
• Inspection Schedule - Equipment/area, inspection type, frequency (Daily/Weekly/Monthly/Quarterly/Annual dropdown), last inspection date, auto-calculated next due date, assigned inspector, and status with color coding

Key Features

• Automated Pass/Fail Scoring - Each daily inspection calculates a compliance score based on Yes/No responses (N/A items excluded) and flags FAIL results when the score drops below 87.5%
• Severity Color Coding - Incident Log uses four-level conditional formatting: red for Critical, orange for Serious, yellow for Moderate, green for Minor — see risk levels at a glance
• Overdue Highlighting - Corrective actions and inspection schedules automatically highlight items past their due date in red
• Dashboard Formulas - KPIs and charts pull data from other sheets automatically. No manual updates needed
• Data Validation Dropdowns - Consistent data entry across all sheets with pre-built dropdown menus for severity, status, frequency, and checklist responses
• Next Due Date Formulas - Inspection Schedule auto-calculates the next due date based on frequency (Daily=+1, Weekly=+7, Monthly=+30, Quarterly=+90, Annual=+365)
• Print-Ready Layouts - Professional formatting suitable for field use, management review, and regulatory documentation
