Evaluate your welding liability exposure on hazardous construction sites and accurately.
Formula
const baseRate = 50; const hoursFactor = inputs.weldingHours * 1.2; const proximityFactor = inputs.hazardousMaterialProximity === 'Distant (50+ feet)' ? 0.5 : inputs.hazardousMaterialProximity === 'Moderate (10-50 feet)' ? 1.0 : 2.0; const fireSuppressionFactor = inputs.fireSuppressionSystems ? 0.7 : 1.3; const experienceFactor = Math.max(0.5, 1 - (inputs.workerExperience / 20)); const trainingFactor = inputs.siteSafetyTraining === 'Comprehensive' ? 0.6 : inputs.siteSafetyTraining === 'Basic' ? 1.0 : 1.5; const riskScore = Math.min(100, Math.max(0, baseRate * proximityFactor * (1.0 - experienceFactor) * trainingFactor * (inputs.weldingHours / 40))); const liabilityExposure = riskScore * hoursFactor * fireSuppressionFactor; return { estimatedLiabilityExposure: liabilityExposure, riskScore: riskScore };Total Welding Hours per Week
