N2  - Work in safety management often involves classification of events using coding schemes or
"taxonomies". Such schemes contain separate categories, and users have to reliably choose
which codes apply to the events in question. The usefulness of any system is limited by the
reliability with which it can be employed, that is the consensus that can be reached on
application of codes. This technical note is concerned with practical and theoretical issues in
defining and measuring such reliability. Three problem areas are covered: the use of correlational
measures, the reporting and calculating of indices of concordance and the use of
correction coefficients.
