    Posted by Kevin Praet (Adm) on December 14, 2022 at 4:42 am

    Hello Safety Analytics Community Members,

    Thanks for attending the December 13, 2022 Safety Analytics Community Conversation! For those unable to attend, we missed you and look forward to seeing you next month. During this Community Conversation, we were joined by Carter White, Quantitative Analyst and Sam Dean, Data Scientist at TVA who led a discussion around, “AI and Machine Learning with Robots for Innovation in Safety.”

    Please find the recording and presentation deck for this Community Conversation in the library.
     If you haven’t taken our post-meeting evaluation, please take a minute and complete it at the following link:https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/UAIComm2022

    During our call yesterday we had introduced our NEW Safety Analytics Community Benchmarking Project and look forward to working on this new initiative with you! Learn more/get involved by reading below and reach out to @Leslie at lcook@utilityanalytics.com if you have any questions. 

    Let’s get started with a NEW Safety Analytics Community Benchmarking Project!

    • Led by the Safety Analytics Community Leadership Team
    • What is the problem we are trying to solve?
    • Recordable incident rate (RIR) is easy to track, but it has flaws. We are looking for a better alternative to help track Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIF) and/or PSIF (Potential Serious Injuries and Fatalities). We want to find a better way to measure safety performance that is a better indicator of  SIF and PSIF.
    • We think the alternative is the EEI SCL definition, but we want to explore options with the members of the Safety Analytics Community.
    • We want to have uniformity across our utilities, so we are measuring the same things in the same ways, and we want to do this through a dialogue with the UAI Safety Analytics Community members.
  • To help you complete the poll, collect the following data before starting the poll. All of the below info is available on the OSHA 300A log.
    • Number of Recordable Injuries
    • Number of DART Injuries
    • Total Work Hours
    • Total Number of DART Days
    • The OSHA 300A log must be filed yearly for the previous year by February 1.  An OSHA 300A is normally done for a specific location.  Enterprises with multiple locations will have multiple 300A forms.  Many enterprises combine all of their location data into a single 300A.  This document will cover the entire enterprise and will contain all of the necessary data.
  • Take the poll by January 31, 2023!
    • Before taking the poll, review it with your team via the PDF document included in this message. This will help you understand what you need to collect for the poll before taking it.
    • Direct link to poll: https://www.menti.com/alrvcrrb93ha, or
    • Go to http://www.Menti.com and use code 3686 7286
  • Next steps after this poll:
    • Identify the top 3-5 safety metrics used, in addition to RIR, and capture members’ results for 2022 to benchmark.
    • Work together to identify a better alternative than RIR to track Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIF) and/or Potential Serious Injuries and Fatalities (PSIF).
    • Once a better alternative metric to RIR is identified, capture members’ results annually to benchmark (annually on February 1).

    Keep reading for a few additional announcements!

      3. Algorithm Alley – Brand New Data Science Resource on UAI Connect!
        1. Algorithm Alley is designed to help members share and collaborate on various forms of code, a resource heavily designed for our growing data science audience.
        2. Currently divided into four categories (Data Engineering, Data Visualization, Machine Learning Algorithms, and Programming) members will have the option of perusing through different entries while also being able to upload their own content. Furthermore, members can like/upvote certain entries and interact publicly or privately with each author.
        3. Algorthm Alley is only available to UAI Utility Members.
        4. Algorithm Alley Link: https://connect.utilityanalytics.com/collaborate/algorithm-alley
      4. Contribute a High Value Use Case for our Upcoming Repository
        1. The high value analytics use case form is for collecting information about planned, underway, or complete high value analytics use cases.
        2. The Executive Advisory Council (EAC) request the collection of these use cases each year. The collected information is for UAI member UTILITY COMPANY representatives ONLY.

      5. Speak During a Future Community Conversation!
        1. All of our members have a different story to tell which is what makes the UAI Community great! Share what projects you’re working on at your utility by being a speaker during a future community conversation.
        2. Proposal Link: https://uaievents.wufoo.com/forms/x1ei9mtx17zuq9w/
        3. Remember, you don’t have to be at the end of your journey to share …sharing along the way is a valuable part of the process and could ultimately help you make adjustments and improvements.
