Abstract

Systems and methods for computerized risk screening are provided. A plurality of facilities are identified for analysis of risk at each facility in the plurality of facilities. For each facility in the plurality of facilities, an answer set to a questionnaire is received. The answer set includes answers to questions for analysis of the risk at the facility. For each facility in the plurality of facilities, a predicted risk level of the risk at the facility is determined based on the answer set. A visual interface is provided. The visual interface includes: (i) a list of at least a portion of the facilities from among the plurality of facilities, (ii) a visual representation of at least one facility from among the plurality of facilities, and (iii) a visual indication of the predicted risk level of the risk for the at least one facility from among the plurality of facilities.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

identifying, via one or more computing devices, a plurality of facilities for analysis of risk at each facility in the plurality of facilities;

receiving, at the one or more computing devices, for each facility in the plurality of facilities, an answer set to a questionnaire, the answer set comprising answers to questions for analysis of the risk at the facility;

determining, at the one or more computing devices, for each facility in the plurality of facilities, a predicted risk level of the risk at the facility based on the answer set; and

providing, via the one or more computing devices, a visual interface comprising;

a list of at least a portion of the facilities from among the plurality of facilities,

a visual representation of at least one facility from among the plurality of facilities, and

a visual indication of the predicted risk level of the risk for the at least one facility from among the plurality of facilities.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the risk comprises one or more of a safety risk, an environmental impact risk, an asset damage risk, a business loss risk, a public image risk, or a public notification risk.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the visual representation of the at least one facility comprises a map of the at least one facility, and wherein the map identifies a degree of susceptibility to the risk of geographic locations within the at least one facility that are shown on the map.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the map identifies, using various color codes, the degree of susceptibility to the risk of the geographic locations.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a selection of a selected facility from among the listed at least the portion of the facilities;

providing a visual representation of the selected facility; and

providing a visual indication of the predicted risk level of the risk for the selected facility.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining, based on a subset of the answer set, a subset of the plurality of facilities that are most prone to the risk; and

providing a visual indication of the subset of the plurality of facilities that are most prone to the risk.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the at least the portion of the facilities listed in the visual interface is equivalent to the subset of the plurality of facilities that are most prone to the risk.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the visual indication of the predicted risk level of the risk for the at least one facility comprises a color code.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving, for each facility in the plurality of facilities, an input comprising a list of equipment items at the facility and a failure probability for each equipment item in the list of equipment items, wherein the predicted risk level is determined based on the failure probability for at least a portion of the equipment items in the list of equipment items.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the predicted risk level is determined based on an expected value of an event associated with the risk multiplied by a probability of the event.

17. The method of claim 6, wherein the at least the portion of the facilities listed in the visual interface is equivalent to the subset of the plurality of facilities that are most prone to the risk.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to:

identify a plurality of facilities for analysis of risk at each facility in the plurality of facilities;

receive, for each facility in the plurality of facilities, an answer set to a questionnaire, the answer set comprising answers to questions for analysis of the risk at the facility;

determine, for each facility in the plurality of facilities, a predicted risk level of the risk at the facility based on the answer set; and

provide a visual interface comprising;

a list of at least a portion of the facilities from among the plurality of facilities,

a visual representation of at least one facility from among the plurality of facilities, and

a visual indication of the predicted risk level of the risk for the at least one facility from among the plurality of facilities.

12. The computer-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the risk comprises one or more of a safety risk, an environmental impact risk, an asset damage risk, a business loss risk, a public image risk, or a public notification risk.

13. The computer-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the visual representation of the at least one facility comprises a map of the at least one facility, and wherein the map identifies a degree of susceptibility to the risk of geographic locations within the at least one facility that are shown on the map.

14. The computer-readable medium of claim 13, wherein the map identifies, using various color codes, the degree of susceptibility to the risk of the geographic locations.

15. The computer-readable medium of claim 11, further comprising instructions which, when executed by the one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to:

receive a selection of a selected facility from among the listed at least the portion of the facilities;

provide a visual representation of the selected facility; and

provide a visual indication of the predicted risk level of the risk for the selected facility.

16. The computer-readable medium of claim 11, further comprising instructions which, when executed by the one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to:

determine, based on a subset of the answer set, a subset of the plurality of facilities that are most prone to the risk; and

provide a visual indication of the subset of the plurality of facilities that are most prone to the risk.

18. The computer-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the visual indication of the predicted risk level of the risk for the at least one facility comprises a color code.

19. A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

a memory comprising instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to;

identify a plurality of facilities for analysis of risk at each facility in the plurality of facilities;

receive, for each facility in the plurality of facilities, an answer set to a questionnaire, the answer set comprising answers to questions for analysis of the risk at the facility;

determine, for each facility in the plurality of facilities, a predicted risk level of the risk at the facility based on the answer set; and

provide a visual interface comprising;

a list of at least a portion of the facilities from among the plurality of facilities,

a visual representation of at least one facility from among the plurality of facilities, and

a visual indication of the predicted risk level of the risk for the at least one facility from among the plurality of facilities.

20. The system of claim 19, wherein the risk comprises one or more of a safety risk, an environmental impact risk, an asset damage risk, a business loss risk, a public image risk, or a public notification risk.
