FAQ

FR2 stands for Force Risk Reduction.

The FR2 management tool is a DoD enterprise-level, data warehousing, monitoring, and analysis tool. FR2 integrates related information in a central location for a comprehensive and integrated representation of the total Force safety landscape. FR2 information helps DoD organizations and leadership evaluate trends and identify areas to reduce risks inherent in daily operations, thereby minimizing unexpected and unintentional negative consequences that harm personnel, damage equipment, and erode readiness/operational capacity.

FR2 retrieves, integrates, and displays information from many different data sets including Military Injuries; Civilian Lost Time (DFAS); Civilian Workers' Compensation Claims (eCOMP); Personnel data for Active Duty, Reserve, Guard, Civilian, and Cadet (DMDC); and Mishap data (Military Departments).

Dashboards and reports display many different measures (fatalities, injuries, mishaps, civilian lost days, costs, and more) for the overall DoD, but give the ability to filter the dashboard by Military Department, Major Organization, Installation, Occupation, Unit and more.

The FR2 tool was directed by the Secretary of Defense and is managed by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness (OUSD(P&R)), Force Safety and Occupational Health (FSOH) office, which is under the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Readiness (ASD(R)).

In compliance with DoD cybersecurity requirements, an FR2 user account is deactivated after 35 days of inactivity. You can re-register for an account on the FR2 Registration page: https://fr2.safety.army.mil.

Problems can be reported to, or you can request assistance by sending an e-mail to FR2 Support.

Each dashboard also contains a “?” button and an “i” button in the upper right corner of the dashboard and often on each individual report on the dashboard. The “?” displays information about dashboard functionality and the “i” buttons provide information about the data on the dashboard including definitions and calculations of elements and measures.

Suggestions can be sent via e-mail to FR2 Support.

An FR2 User Guide will soon be available on the site (via the Analytics link in the menu). Each month general FR2 orientation sessions are offered. Upcoming dates and times can be found on FR2 What’s New page. If you would like to register for a general orientation session, please send an e-mail to: FR2 Support. After attending the general orientation session, if you would like a customized FR2 orientation session for in-depth training in the use of the system for a particular functional area (e.g., civilian lost time, mishaps, military injuries), please send a request to: FR2 Support.

Currently, FR2 consumes data files from the following providers but not all data is displayed in FR2 at this time:

• DMDC – Active Duty Personnel, Cadet Personnel, Reserve Personnel, Activations, and Reserve Pay, Appropriated Fund Civilian Personnel, Non-Appropriated Fund Civilian Personnel, Foreign Nationals Personnel; Civilian Personnel; and Unit Master
• Defense Finance Accounting Service (DFAS) – Civilian Payroll
• Defense Civilian Personnel Advisory Service (DCPAS) – eCOMP Workers' Compensation Claims; Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA) Costs
• Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) – Military Personnel
• Defense Health Agency – TRICARE Military Medical Treatment Claims in the Medical Data Repository
• Air Force Safety Automated System (AFSAS) – Accident Reports
• US Army Safety Management Information System (ASMIS) – Accident Reports
• US Naval Safety Center Risk Management Information (RMI) – Accident Reports

There are many dashboards available in FR2 that allow for the analysis of data such as Civilian Injuries and Lost Work Days, Military Injuries, Service Safety Center Mishaps, and Population. There is also a Strategic Overview dashboard which incorporates high level data from all available dashboards into a single view.

FR2 is updated monthly. Each data source has different lag times so see the Data Overview Report on the Overview menu option to see dates for each data source.

The BAN (header of the dashboard) compares the current Year-To-Date data to the previous Year-To-Date data for data that is considered complete. The body and footer reports utilize all available data for the selected Time Span.

Civilian lost time reports contain information pertaining to appropriated funded civilians only. Contractors, non-appropriated funded civilians and foreign nationals are not included.

No. Detail reports are available, but these reports do not include Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Privacy Act restrictions.

The "Total Cost" is the sum of the "The Injury Cost" plus the sum of "The Equipment Cost".

Sum (injury cost) + sum (equipment cost) = total cost.

Total Case Rate:

Workers’ Compensation Claim Count / Prorated Hours * 200,000

Rate is Total Injury & Illness Cases per 100 Civilians

200,000 labor hours is the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) standard which equates to 100 employees who work 40 hours per week, and who work 50 weeks a year.

Lost Day Rate:

Lost Days / Prorated Hours * 200,000

Rate is Lost Days per 100 Civilians

Lost Days is the sum of Continuation of Pay (COP), Retroactive COP, and Leave without Pay (LWOP). 200,000 labor hours is the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) standard which equates to 100 employees who work 40 hours per week, and who work 50 weeks a year.

COP is payable for a maximum of 45 calendar days, and every day used is counted toward this maximum. The following rules apply:

1. Time lost on the day or shift of the injury does not count toward COP. (Instead, the agency must keep the employee in a pay status for that period);
2. The first COP day is the first day disability begins following the date of injury (providing it is within the 45 days following the date of injury), except where the injury occurs before the beginning of the work day or shift, in which case the date of injury is charged to COP;
3. Any part of a day or shift (except for the day of the injury) counts as a full day toward the 45 calendar day total;
4. Leave used during a period when COP is otherwise payable is counted toward the 45-day COP maximum as if the employee had been in a COP status.
5. For employees with part-time or intermittent schedules, all calendar days on which medical evidence indicates disability are counted as COP days, regardless of whether the employee was or would have been scheduled to work on those days. The rate at which COP is paid for these employees is calculated according to Sec. 10.216(b).

It is the service specific default location where a Unit Identification Code (UIC) is placed within the FR2 Unit Hierarchy when a parent UIC is not provided. Once the parent information is obtained, the UIC will be moved to the appropriate location in the hierarchy.

This occurs because COP is being submitted for pay periods that have no scheduled civilian workers. This is likely a data entry issue on DFAS timecards (either COP is entered for the wrong pay period or scheduled hours are not entered as they should be for the pay period). This seems to happen most when COP is submitted for a previous pay period (retro COP), but that previous pay period has no schedule hours. Internal Note to FR2 analysts: more information can be found in JIRA FR-8937.

The page-level filters can be accessed by clicking on the three horizontal lines in the upper left corner of the dashboard or report. A pop-up appears where you can select parameters from the dropdowns for specific fields. When you are finished, please click the “Apply” button at the bottom of the pop-up or the concentric circles to the right of each field in the pop-up to apply your selection(s) to the entire dashboard.

Further filtering on the body and footer reports can be accomplished by changing the dropdown options above the map (i.e. “Choose Timespan” and “Choose Measure”). Some dashboards have the ability to click on the map, which updates the body, footer, and BAN (header) for the location selected.

Each dashboard contains an “i” button in the upper right corner of the dashboard and often on each individual report on the dashboard. The “i” buttons provide information about the data on the dashboard including definitions and calculations of elements and measures.
