# Safety Overview Tab

The **Safety Overview** tab gives you a 30-day view of driver behaviour and safety events across the fleet. It surfaces overall event volumes, the drivers who pose the highest risk, the categories of event that occur most often, and the times of day and week when events cluster.

## How to open the Safety Overview tab

Click **Safety Overview** at the top of the Dashboard.

To reload the figures, click **Refresh**.

## KPI strip

The top of the tab shows a strip of six KPI tiles. Each tile presents a single headline value with its unit and a directional delta against the prior period.

The six KPIs are:

* **Total Events** -- The total number of safety events recorded across the fleet in the period.
* **High-Risk Events** -- The subset of events classified as high severity.
* **Medium-Risk Events** -- The subset of events classified as medium severity.
* **Driver Safety Score** -- The average safety score across active drivers.
* **Events Per Day** -- The mean number of events recorded each day.
* **Trend vs Prior Period** -- The overall direction of travel compared with the previous period.

Use the KPI strip to confirm the overall picture before working through the section cards.

## Section cards

Below the KPI strip, the tab is organised into a set of section cards. Each card focuses on a different cut of the safety data.

### Safety event trend

Shows a stacked bar chart with one bar per day for the last 30 days. Each bar is split into severity segments coloured:

* **Red** -- high-severity events.
* **Amber** -- medium-severity events.
* **Green** -- low-severity events.

Use this chart to spot days when event volumes spike, and to confirm whether spikes are driven by high-severity incidents or by an increase in lower-severity behaviour. Read the chart together with the **When Events Happen** heatmap to understand both the day and the time of day that events cluster.

### At-risk drivers

Shows a ranked list of up to eight drivers who present the highest risk over the last 30 days. Each row in the list shows:

* The driver's name.
* The fleet they belong to.
* A weighted score combining event severity and frequency.
* A count of red, amber, and green events for the driver.

Use this list to prioritise coaching activity. Once you have identified a driver to coach, you can schedule and record the conversation in [Coaching, Sessions](/geotab-add-in/coaching/coaching/sessions.md).

> **Tip:** A driver with a small number of red events will often appear above a driver with many green events, because severity is weighted more heavily than frequency.

### Event categories

Shows a horizontal bar chart breaking events down by type. Each bar shows a count and a percentage of total events. The categories shown are:

* **Harsh braking**
* **Harsh acceleration**
* **Harsh cornering**
* **Speeding**
* **Distraction**
* **Following distance**
* **Seatbelt**
* **Phone use**

Use this chart to identify the behaviours that dominate your safety profile and to focus coaching content where it will have the greatest impact. To review supporting footage and context for individual events, see [Media](/geotab-add-in/media/media.md).

### When events happen

Shows a heatmap with seven rows (Monday to Sunday) and 24 columns (one for each hour of the day). Each cell is shaded by the density of events recorded in that hour-of-week slot, so peak periods stand out as the darkest cells.

Underneath the heatmap is a peak-windows summary that calls out the specific day-and-hour combinations with the highest event density. Use this summary to plan operational changes, for example, adjusting shift patterns, reviewing routes that fall into peak windows, or scheduling targeted briefings before high-risk periods.

## Refreshing the data

Click **Refresh** to reload all figures on the tab from the server. This is useful if new events have just synced from the telematics platform or if you have completed coaching sessions that should now be reflected in driver scores.

## How the cards fit together

The four section cards are designed to be read in sequence:

1. Start with **Safety Event Trend** to see whether events are rising, falling, or stable over the period.
2. Use **At-Risk Drivers** to identify who is contributing most to the picture.
3. Use **Event Categories** to understand which behaviours drive your numbers.
4. Use **When Events Happen** to see when in the week those behaviours occur.

Together these views give you the *what*, *who*, *which behaviour*, and *when* needed to plan a focused safety intervention.
