Pareto Dashboard
The Pareto dashboard helps you identify where to focus your efforts: it applies the 80/20 rule to four prevention areas (risk factors, accidents, training and PPE) so you can see, at a glance, which few categories account for most of the outstanding cases. Each area is shown in its own tab.
You will only see data from the companies, centres and sections you have access to according to your user profile. Two different people may see different figures on the same dashboard, and that is expected.
Key concepts
Section titled “Key concepts”Before reviewing each element, it is useful to clarify several concepts used throughout the dashboard.
What a Pareto chart is. Each tab shows a Pareto chart: a bar graph ordered from highest to lowest, accompanied by a line that sums the cumulative percentage and a fixed line set at 80%. The idea is to locate the few categories that, together, explain most of the total. The categories to the left of where the cumulative line crosses 80% are the ones to tackle first.
The four tabs. The dashboard is organised into four tabs, each with its own Pareto chart:
| Tab | What it analyses | How the bars are grouped |
|---|---|---|
| Risk factors Pareto | Open risk factors. | By type of risk. |
| Accidents Pareto | Investigated accidents. | By cause group. |
| Training Pareto | Pending training actions. | By course. |
| PPE Pareto | Pending PPE needs. | By type of PPE. |
What is counted in each tab. Each chart focuses on what is still to be resolved or what is of interest to analyse:
- In risk factors, only open factors are counted: closed or cancelled ones are excluded.
- In accidents, all investigated accidents in the period are counted, without filtering by status.
- In training, only pending training actions are counted: completed or validated ones are excluded.
- In PPE, only pending PPE needs are counted: completed or closed ones are excluded.
How data is ordered and accumulated. In all charts, bars are ordered from the category with the most cases to the one with the fewest. The cumulative percentage line starts from the highest bar and adds up, category by category, until reaching 100%. The 80% line is a fixed reference that does not change.
Scope permissions. The dashboard only includes data from the companies, centres and sections you have access to. Therefore, two users with different permissions may see different figures.
Chained filters. The filters on the left apply simultaneously to all four tabs. If you select a centre or narrow the dates, all four charts recalculate with that same selection.
Filters
Section titled “Filters”On the left side you will find the filters. They apply simultaneously to all four tabs.
| Filter | What it allows you to narrow down |
|---|---|
| Centre | The centre to which the data belongs. Allows multiple selection and includes a search function. |
| Start date | The time period. Each tab uses its reference date (that of the risk factor, the accident, or the creation of the training action or PPE need). |
Risk factors Pareto
Section titled “Risk factors Pareto”Shows the open risk factors grouped by type of risk. Closed and cancelled factors are excluded.
- The bars indicate the number of open risk factors of each type, ordered from highest to lowest.
- The cumulative percentage line sums, type by type, the weight of each over the total.
- The 80% line marks the reference to identify the few risk types that concentrate most of the open factors.
Accidents Pareto
Section titled “Accidents Pareto”Shows the investigated accidents grouped by cause group.
- The bars indicate the number of accidents associated with each cause group, ordered from highest to lowest.
- The cumulative percentage line and the 80% line work the same as in the other charts.
The same accident may have several causes from different groups assigned. In that case, that accident appears in each of the groups it corresponds to. Accidents with no assigned cause are grouped under No defined cause.
Training Pareto
Section titled “Training Pareto”Shows the pending training actions grouped by course. Completed and validated actions are excluded.
- The bars indicate the number of pending training actions for each course, ordered from highest to lowest.
- The cumulative percentage line and the 80% line help you see which few courses concentrate most of the pending training.
PPE Pareto
Section titled “PPE Pareto”Shows the pending PPE needs grouped by type of PPE. Completed and closed needs are excluded.
- The bars indicate the number of pending PPE needs of each type, ordered from highest to lowest.
- The cumulative percentage line and the 80% line highlight the types of PPE that accumulate most of the pending deliveries.
Frequently asked questions
Section titled “Frequently asked questions”How do I read the Pareto chart?
First, look at the bars on the left, which are the categories with the most cases. Follow the cumulative line to the point where it crosses the 80% line: the categories to its left are those that, together, explain most of the total and should be prioritised.
In the accidents Pareto, why is the sum of the bars greater than the number of accidents?
Because the same accident can have several causes from different groups, and it is reflected in each of those groups. Therefore, when adding all the bars you may get a figure higher than the actual number of accidents.
Why don’t I see a risk factor (or training, or PPE) that I know exists?
Each chart focuses on what is pending. Closed or cancelled risk factors, completed or validated training actions, and completed or closed PPE needs do not appear, because the aim is to prioritise what remains to be resolved.
Why don’t my figures match those of a colleague?
The dashboard applies the scope permissions of each user: only data from the companies, centres or sections you have access to are included. Two users with different permissions will see different figures.
Do the filters only affect the tab I am viewing?
No. The centre and date filters apply simultaneously to all four tabs, even if you only see one on screen.
