safety-barometer

A safety-barometer is a human-made measure or gauge designed to indicate the relative state or level of safety within a system, organization, or domain. It operates by aggregating discrete safety signals — indicators, metrics, and observations — into a composite reading that makes safety conditions visible and trackable across time. The barometer persists through periodic measurement, data recording, and visual representation (numeric scores, color codes, trend lines), enabling both real-time monitoring and longitudinal comparison. Its design parameterizes what counts as a safety signal, how signals are weighted, and how often readings are taken.
