Abstract

Workplace injuries in industrial environments pose significant risks to employees and organizations due to high physical and financial costs. Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) programs encourage avoidance of issues like “pencil-whipping”, vague, low-quality documentation (Ludwig & Laske, 2022). To address this gap, our project leverages Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyze the quality of these reports and assess their predictive capacity for future incidents through various quality indicators.

Quality Indicators as Signals of Risk: Improving Safety Reporting with NLP

Workplace injuries in industrial environments pose significant risks to employees and organizations due to high physical and financial costs. Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) programs encourage avoidance of issues like “pencil-whipping”, vague, low-quality documentation (Ludwig & Laske, 2022). To address this gap, our project leverages Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyze the quality of these reports and assess their predictive capacity for future incidents through various quality indicators.
