Management Reports

At a high level, a Senior Environmental or Risk Officer, Corporate Real Estate Director, or Chief Operating Officer needs to see a complete picture of the current state of hazardous materials for the organization. The picture needs to provide decision support data for strategic decisions and budgets aimed at effectively reducing environmental hazard risks.

For example, your site may be conducting a risk assessment for a portfolio valuation as part of an analysis for a potential merger. The finance team asks: What are the life and safety risks to personnel from hazardous substances (mold, asbestos, radon, etc.) in your buildings? What are the potential risks to business continuity? What is the overall dollar-value liability due to the presence of these hazardous materials?

Or perhaps your company is applying for new insurance in a region, and the insurance company requires an audit of environmental hazards in your building. Where are the hazards located? How much is known versus unknown about presence of hazards in this older building?

The following reports help you answer these types of questions.

Hazard Assessment Summary Chart

For each hazardous substance, see the overall count of assessment items for this substance. The chart also displays the number of buildings, floors, and rooms that contain assessment items for each substance. Click on a bar in the chart, and you access the Summary form; from this form, you can drill down to further details on your assessment items.

Hazard Assessment Scoreboard

Use the Hazard Assessment Scoreboard report to quickly gain an overview of the current state of your facility, and then to drill down to more detailed data. With this report, you can quickly see the most urgent tasks and the estimated costs of resolving them. You can then decide which items you will immediately address and which you need to postpone. For more information, see Scoreboard reports.

Hazard Assessment Items Summary

This report shows a high-level summary of your assessment items; move between the tabs to see specific properties of the summary. This report is handy for quickly reviewing the state of your site and your overall exposure to risk.

First, choose one or more hazardous substance projects from the left pane. For example, if you are checking a building for lead and mold, you would have created two separate projects for this building. You can summarize all the hazardous substance work for this building by choosing both projects from the list.

For the selected projects, you can further refine the data that the report displays by choosing one or more filter options. For example, you may want to limit data to a specific assessment period or a friability condition. Choose Show, and the system retrieves, summarizes and presents the data and lists the restriction statement to remind you of the restriction conditions.

Use the report's tabs to show summaries of your data by different categories, such as by substance, site, building, floor. Use the Assessment s tab to see individual items.

Hazard Assessments by Location Drill-Down

For each component of your location hierarchy, this report shows a high-level summary of your assessment items: the estimated and actual costs, the status (active or abated), and whether the assessment revealed the presence of hazardous material. Move between the tabs to see summaries by country, region, state city, site, building, floor, room. Use the Assessments tab to see individual items.

This report helps you answer such questions as: What is the relative risk exposure within some geographic areas (region/state/city/site)? How do status and count of Hazard Assessments compare across our sites? What steps might we take to reduce risk while minimizing cost and disruption to operations?

Hazard Assessment Count by Location

For an overview of the hazmat work at your buildings or sites, broken down by hazardous substance, use this report and select a set of buildings or sites. For each selected building or site, the system generates a bar that reports on the number of assessment items of each hazardous substance. Hover over each color in the bar to see the type of hazardous substance. Use the filter to limit the data, such as showing just assessments of a certain time frame or assessment items whose material is friable.

Since the bars for each building or site are organized by hazardous substance, you can use this report to quickly see the types of issues at each building or site. For example, you can scan the bars for each building to quickly see if older buildings are more likely to contain hazards (asbestos, lead paint) or are issues due to the location/region (radon or mold)?

Hazard Assessment Count by Year

For an overview of your work for each year, use this report to see a stacked bar graph or a line chart of the number of assessment items, organized by hazardous substance and grouped by year of assessment. To limit the range of years displayed in the chart, enter values in the Date Assessed From and Date Assessed To boxes in the filter console and click Show.

Hazard Assessment Count by Location/Year

For each year, this report presents an overview of hazmat work at sites or buildings over time. First, select a set of buildings or sites. For each building or site, the system presents a line showing the number of assessment items for each year. Use this chart to see how the quantity of your hazmat work changes year by year for each building or site.

To examine the hazmat work over time for one or more specific substances, select a Substance in the filter console and click Show. To limit the range of years displayed in the chart, enter values in the Date Assessed From and Date Assessed To boxes in the filter console and click Show.

Hazard Assessment Costs by Project

When addressing a hazmat issue, you can estimate the cost. Then, when work is completed, you can enter the actual cost of resolving the issue. For each hazmat project, this report presents a bar for estimated cost and a bar for actual cost in the first tab (Actual vs Estimated Costs). The second tab (Actual Costs) presents actual costs for each project broken down into Capital and Expense costs. The third tab (Estimated Costs) presents estimated costs for each project broken down into Capital and Expense costs.

Use this graph to quickly compare costs between hazmat projects, compare the estimated and actual costs for each project, and compare capital vs expense costs (actual or estimated) for each project. If you find that your estimated and actual costs greatly vary, perhaps you need to more carefully make your estimates.
