    Conformance = Reaches company standards
    Observation (Opportunity for Improvement - OFI)= Does not present an immediate risk to safety but requires improvement
    Non-Conformance = Does not comply with legislative requirements or company policy - Requires action within prescribed timeframe

    Guide to scoring

    9. = Meets company policy / Deemed to be safe, legally compliant and conforms with company policy and practice. - A high Standard of safety and health management
    1-8 = Concerns / Improvement action required
    0. = Uncontrolled Risks / No Safe System of Work (SSOW)

    90- 100. = Exceptional / Excellent consistent industry leading approach to health and safety
    80-89. = Good safe systems of work and meets company expectations
    60-79. = May be generally good but several areas of improvement of unsafe practices were observed or witnessed - A better more active approach to H&S / contractor control is required
