Identifying, assessing, and prioritizing potential risks is a crucial aspect of success within an organization. Without risk management, organizations could potentially incur losses greater than those caused directly by the risk itself. If safety observations are in an indistinguishable table of data, it can be hard to differentiate between the observations that require immediate attention and those that can be addressed at a later time with a lower priority. PIMSHQ is a project information management system with various software products to help organizations manage and collect data. Within their scope of products, they handle a software called PIMS Safety. “PIMS Safety is a hosted SaaS (Software as a Service) application created to help clients effectively manage and report on their safety program.” (PIMS Safety, 2022). Currently, PIMS Safety is storing more than a million records involving safety observations around a construction site that may be deemed risky to an organization. This data is stored but not thoroughly analyzed. Analyzing data associated with risk and observations can help mitigate future occurrences of unsafe events. By building a tool to easily analyze data at a glance, safety personnel can advise their colleagues of potential location of a more severe event to occur. Environmental factors are taken into consideration for extreme conditions that can result in extreme consequences. Prevention and mitigation measures should be taken when there is an anomaly from past trends. For my capstone project, I determined how the observation data PIMS Safety collects can be leveraged for a company’s construction site in a way that prevents and mitigates risk. The remainder of this document serves as the series of decisions and logical reasoning made to leverage the observation data PIMS Safety collects to prevent and mitigate future risk. Guiding Project Question: How can the observation data PIMS Safety collects be leveraged for a company’s construction site in a way that prevents and mitigates risk?
