Safety Hotspot Mapping

Safety Hotspot Mapping

Overview

Identification and visualisation of geographic areas on site where incidents and hazard concentration are above average. Primary agent: Predictive Analytics Specialist.

Steps

1. Data Collection → Gather incident locations with coordinates, inspection findings by zone
2. Geospatial Analysis → Map incidents onto site layout and overlay zones with higher frequency
3. Density Analysis → Calculate incident density and identify areas exceeding the average threshold
4. Hotspot Classification → Classify areas as low, medium, high, or critical risk
5. Recommendations → Generate targeted interventions for hotspot areas
6. Reporting → Create visual hotspot maps for management review

Success Criteria

• Hotspots accurately reflect incident patterns
• Maps clear and actionable for site teams
• Targeted interventions reduce hotspot risk

Common Pitfalls

1. Small area of data → Insufficient incidents for reliable hotspot identification
2. Changing site layout → Hotspots become invalid when work moves
3. Ignoring context → Not considering work activity density in hotspot analysis
