FR2 stands for Force Risk Reduction.

The FR2 management tool is a DoD enterprise-level, data warehousing, monitoring, and analysis tool that integrates related information in a central location for a more comprehensive and integrated representation of total Force safety landscape. FR2 information assists DoD organizations 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 information from more than 400 million records across 13 different data sets (i.e., DMDC, DCPAS, Service Safety Centers, etc.) supplying 10+ years of historical data for trending. Dashboards and reports display this data by Service, Installation, Major Organization, and Department with the ability to drill into the details that comprise the fatalities, injuries, mishaps, civilian lost time, costs, and rate denominators.

FR2 currently consumes and integrates data for Military Injuries, Civilian Lost Time, Civilian Workers' Compensation Claims, Casualty Notifications, Air Evacuations, Population Strength (for Active Duty, Reserve, Guard, Civilian, and Cadet), Population FTE (for the overall military, Reserve, Guard, and Civilian), Deployments, Department Costs, as well as Service fatalities and mishaps tracked by the Service Safety Centers. FR2 mishap data is based on the standard mishap data elements (MDE) that are defined in the DoDI 6055.07.

FR2 is a personnel-focused, data-driven, web-based SharePoint site with a SQL Server database backend repository. The SharePoint site is made up of dashboards and reports including a Strategic Dashboard, which integrates and centralizes key metrics for the evaluation and trending of data, asking the right questions, and promoting data-informed decisions. These dashboards are designed to allow leaders to target risks, losses, and costs, and provide information to assist them in maximizing Force Readiness. The site also tracks monthly safety metrics and gives users the ability to drill into more detailed data for additional analysis and trending.

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

FR2 provides data for Military Injuries, Civilian Lost Time, Workers' Compensation Claims, Casualty Notifications, Air Evacuations, Population Strength (for Active Duty, Reserve, Guard, Civilian, and Cadet), Population FTE (for the overall military, Reserve, Guard, and Civilian), Deployments, Costs, as well as Service Fatalities and mishaps tracked by the service safety centers. FR2 mishap data are based on the data elements that are defined in the Mishap Data Requirements which have been standardized for reporting.

FR2 retrieves information from more than 400 million records across 13 different data sets supplying 10+ years of historical data, depending on the source, for trending. It provides both dashboards and reports which display data at a Department level or by Service, Installation, Major Organization, and Category/Subcategory.

Data contained in the dashboards and reports include personnel, workers' compensation, finance, mishap, military injury medical treatment, casualty, medical air evacuation, and deployment data.

FR2 includes a Strategic Dashboard, which provides a central location to find all tracked metrics (both 'Current' and 'Yearly'), including fatalities, injuries, mishaps, civilian lost time, costs, denominators used to calculate rates, and a data overview at the Service level.

FR2 tracks progress towards safety-related goals that support operational readiness; provides a comprehensive leadership view of personnel readiness and displays SOH losses and personnel risks for specific organizations, commands, installations, and units.

Currently, FR2 consumes data from the following providers:

• Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC); Military and Civilian Personnel, Deployment, Activation
• Defense Finance Accounting Service (DFAS); Civilian Payroll
• Defense Civilian Personnel Advisory Service (DCPAS); Workers' Compensation Claims
• Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS); Military Personnel

Our goal is to update FR2 monthly. The top line of the “What’s New” page lists the date FR2 was updated as well as a link to a detailed report that displays the latest loads by data source.

FR2 reports contain data for Title 32 National Guard, Title 10 Federal Active, and Title 10 Federal Reserve components.

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

No. The reports are summary level 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.
