Explanation of audit scoring

  • All of the following audit questions will be answered in one of three ways:

    "Yes" (Green color) - 2 points
    (The jobsite performance met or exceeded expectations for this specific audit question.)
    "Improve" (Yellow color) - 1 point
    (The performance generally met expectations, but some specific improvements are needed.)
    "No" (Red color) - 0 points
    (The performance failed to meet expectations, or a serious violation was identified.)

    If an audit question does not apply to the jobsite's activities, the auditor will select N/A for "not applicable", and no score will be added or subtracted from the audit. (The auditor will typically select to omit these questions from the final audit report.)
