Claim 23:
24. A workplace safety system comprising:
an elevated working implement comprising:
a plurality of legs;
a sensor structure associated with at least one of the plurality of legs, the sensor structure comprising at least one measurement device configured to generate signals based upon the use of the elevated working implement by an operator;
an edge gateway in communication with the sensor structure and configured to receive the signals generated by the sensor structure;

a scoring computing system in networked communication with the edge gateway via a communication network, wherein the scoring computing system is configured to receive data from the edge gateway, wherein the data reflects:
an identity of an operator of the elevated working implement; and
information concerning a manner by which the operator has used the elevated working implement, wherein the information is at least partially based upon the signals generated by the sensor structure;

wherein the scoring computing system is configured to:
determine characteristics of operation of the elevated working implement over a period of time based upon the information;
generate a plurality of alerts in response to determining that the characteristic of operation is unsafe; and
based upon the characteristic of operation over the period of time, generate a plurality of safety scores associated with the operator over the period of time, wherein each of the plurality of safety scores falls within a predetermined range extending between a first limit and a second limit and accounts for violation correction responses made by the operator within a predetermined time subsequent to each of the plurality of alerts.
