# Safety Overview

The **Safety Overview** tab is where you triage driver behaviour and incidents. It rolls every safety event captured by your video and telematics providers up into a single page so you can see how your fleet is trending, who needs coaching, and when in the week events are most likely to happen.

> **Permissions:** Any user with the **Dashboard** permission can open this tab. KPI tiles, the trend chart, and the at-risk drivers list are all scoped to the fleets and depots your role grants you access to.

> **Note:** Fleet Activity and Safety Overview show the last 30 days. There is currently no date picker on these tabs.

To open the tab, click **Dashboard** in the sidebar, then select **Safety Overview** from the tab strip.

## The KPI strip

The KPI strip carries up to six tiles summarising the period:

* **Total events** — every safety event captured in the window.
* **High-risk events** — the count of red-severity events.
* **Medium-risk events** — the count of amber-severity events.
* **Low-risk events** — the count of green-severity events.
* **Driver safety score** — the latest weighted score across active drivers, where available.
* **Events / 1k miles** — a normalised rate so fleets of different sizes can be compared like for like.

Most tiles are clickable. Selecting one opens the **Tracking > Media** page filtered to the same window, fleet scope, and severity. For example, clicking **High-risk events** opens the media list with `severity=high` already applied. The **Events / 1k miles** tile is intentionally read-only because it has no list view to drill into.

> **Tip:** Tile colour reflects the metric's tone: green for healthy, amber for watch, red for failing, with the icon mirroring the severity. The delta caption underneath shows the change versus the previous 30-day window.

## Safety event trend

The **Safety event trend** chart plots a daily breakdown of events split by severity. Red, amber, and green series share the same x-axis so you can see at a glance whether a spike is driven by a rash of high-severity events or a more general uptick.

Use it to:

* Confirm whether a coaching campaign is having an effect.
* Spot weekly patterns — for example, Monday-morning peaks after a quiet weekend.
* Tie spikes back to seasonal pressures, route changes, or new starters.

## At-risk drivers

The **At-risk drivers** card on the right of the trend chart lists the drivers most exposed in the period, ordered by risk score. Each row shows the driver's avatar, name, fleet, the breakdown of red, amber, and green events, and — where calculated — their latest safety score.

The ranking uses a weighted formula (red events count for more than amber, which count for more than green), with the latest safety score taking precedence where it exists.

> **Tip:** Use this list as a coaching pipeline. Pick the top names, then open a [Coaching session](/documentation/coaching/coaching/sessions.md) directly against the driver record.

## Event categories

The **Event categories** card breaks down events by type so you know what behaviours are actually driving the headline figure. Categories typically include:

* Harsh braking, harsh acceleration, harsh cornering.
* Speeding.
* Distracted driving and phone use.
* Following too closely.
* Seatbelt-off events.
* Other provider-specific categories.

Each category carries the absolute count and the percentage of the total. Colours match the platform's event taxonomy so the same category looks the same wherever it appears, including on the [Tracking video and event pages](/documentation/fleet-operations/tracking/video-events.md).

## When events happen

The **When events happen** card is a 7 × 24 heatmap. Each row is a day of the week, each column is an hour of the day, and each cell is shaded by the number of events that happened in that slot. The card heading also calls out the peak windows — for example "Mon 06:00 – 08:00 · Fri 16:00 – 18:00" — calculated server-side so you do not have to read the heatmap to find them.

Use the view to:

* Spot rush-hour pressure points.
* Identify shift handovers where fatigue or distraction tends to cluster.
* Time briefings or toolbox talks for the days and hours that matter.

## Drilling through

Most cards on the Safety Overview tab are interactive:

* KPI tiles open the filtered media list.
* Driver rows can be opened directly to the driver record.
* Event category and heatmap cells reuse the same filter contract, so the date window and fleet scope follow you through the drill.

## Loading and error states

While the page fetches data, you see a single **Loading** placeholder. If the safety service errors, a red banner replaces the cards with the underlying message. Refresh the page once the upstream issue clears; the tab does not retry automatically.
