# COPE

> How to complete COPE data for a survey in TruRisk.

COPE stands for **Construction, Occupancy, Protection, and Exposure**. It is the structured dataset that captures the physical and operational characteristics of a site, and forms the foundation of the risk assessment for that survey.

To add COPE data, open the survey record, go to the **COPE** tab, and click **Add Cope**.

<Info>
  Units can be toggled between **Metric** and **Imperial** at the top of the Construction section.
