Weekly Safety Report Generator – Complete Guide for Safety Professionals

Safety reporting is not just a daily task — many organizations also require weekly safety reports to summarize site performance over a longer period. Unlike Daily Safety Reports (DSR), which record day-to-day activities, a Weekly Safety Report (WSR) gives management and clients a broader overview of safety trends, manpower, permits, observations, and incidents.

To make this process easier, we’ve built a Weekly Safety Report Generator Tool on 👉 The HSE Tools. With this tool, safety professionals can quickly generate professional PDF reports that summarize a week’s safety performance, saving time and ensuring accuracy.

🔹 What is a Weekly Safety Report?

A Weekly Safety Report (WSR) is a summary document prepared by the site safety officer or HSE manager that provides an overview of safety activities and incidents for the past week.

It typically includes:

Project/site details
Total manpower statistics (weekly cumulative)
Work activities carried out during the week
Permits issued summary (Hot Work, Height, Confined Space, Electrical, etc.)
Toolbox talks conducted
Safety inspections/audits conducted
Accidents, incidents, and near misses (if any)
Safety observations and corrective actions
Weekly achievements or milestones (e.g., Safe Manhours)
HSE manager/safety officer remarks and recommendations

👉 Clients, auditors, and management use WSRs to assess weekly site safety performance.

🔹 Formula & Key Calculations in Weekly Reports

Unlike FR, SR, IR, or TRIR, weekly safety reports don’t have a single formula, but they often include calculated indicators such as:

Weekly Man-Days:

Man-Days Worked = Total Workers × Days Worked in the Week

Weekly Manhours:

Manhours Worked = Man-Days × Hours per Day

Safe Manhours (Cumulative):

Safe Manhours = Workers × Hours/Day × Days without LTI

KPI Updates: FR, SR, IR, TRIR if required.
