OSHA Citation Risk Score: A Free Two-Minute Jobsite Check
Published · 1 min read
Fall protection has been OSHA’s most frequently cited standard every year for more than a decade, and much of the rest of the list repeats from year to year: ladders, scaffolding, eye and face protection, hazard communication, fall protection training. Most of those citations come from everyday gaps on the jobsite, not from rare events.
This free tool asks nine quick questions built around those standards and gives you a risk score from 0 to 100, a breakdown by category, and the three things to fix first. It takes about two minutes, and the score is calculated in your browser.

A weak safety record doesn't just risk citations — it shows up on your workers' comp bill. See what a lower EMOD could save you.

This tool gives a general risk indicator, not a substitute for a site-specific safety assessment. Your score is calculated in your browser. If you ask Safirst to email your results, Safirst keeps your name, email and answers to follow up.
How the score works
Each answer carries points for how far it sits from what the standard expects. The total is shown as a share of the worst possible answers: 0 to 30 is low risk, 31 to 60 is moderate, and above 60 is high. The category bars show where the points came from, so you know which program to look at first.
The categories follow the standards on OSHA’s Top 10 Most Frequently Cited Standards list for fiscal year 2025 (osha.gov/top10citedstandards), plus how quickly you could produce your records during an inspection. The score is a general indicator, not a substitute for a site-specific safety assessment.
What to do with your result
A moderate or high score usually points to a program that exists on paper but is not checked in the field. If you want help closing those gaps, talk to Safirst. Our consultants have run fall protection and heat illness programs on Arizona jobsites for more than a decade.
