THE TOPIC OUTCOMES

AT THE END OF THIS TOPIC, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO;
1. UNDERSTAND ALL THE WORKING DEFINITION SUCH HAZARD, ACCIDENT,
CONSEQUENCES, RISK & ETC.
2. IDENTIFY THE HAZARD(S) AND ITS TYPE (SPECIFIC & TYPE / CLASS).
3. DIFFERENTIATE INCIDENT NAMES USE IN OSHA & NADOPOD,2004.
4. CALCULATE THE ACCIDENT STATISTIC USING OSHA & NADOPOD, 2004 THE
DETERMINE SAFETY PERFORMANCE.

 ACCIDENT AND LOSS STATISTICS

MEASURES OF EFFECTIVENESS OF SAFETY PROGRAMS

STATISTICAL METHODS : CHARACTERIZE ACCIDENT
AND LOSS PERFORMANCE.
SYSTEMS:
OSHA INCIDENCE RATE (OSHA IR)
FATAL ACCIDENT RATE (FAR)
FATALITY RATE
REPORT THE NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS AND/OR FATALITIES FOR A
FIXED NUMBER OF WORKERS DURING A SPECIFIED PERIOD.

3
 OSHA INCIDENCE RATE
BASED ON CASES PER 100 WORKER YEARS
A WORKER YEAR = 2000 HOURS
(50 WORK WEEKS/YEAR X 40 HOURS/WEEK)

PROVIDES INFORMATION ON ALL TYPES

OF WORK RELATED INJURIES AND
ILLNESSES, INCLUDING FATALITIES

THE OSHA INCIDENCE RATE IS BASED ON

200,000 HOURS OF WORKER EXPOSURE TO
A HAZARD [2000HR X 100 WORKER YEARS]
4
 FORMULAS
OSHA INCIDENT RATE

OSHA* = NUMBER OF INJURIES & ILLNESS X 200,000

TOTAL HOURS WORKED BY ALL EMPLOYEES
DURING PERIOD COVERED

CKB 30103 INDUSTRIAL SAFETY AND HEALTH 5

 FOR EXAMPLE:
A COMPANY HAS 17 FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES AND 3
PART-TIME EMPLOYEES THAT EACH WORK 20 HOURS
PER WEEK. THIS EQUATES TO 28,400 LABOR HOURS
EACH YEAR. IF THE COMPANY EXPERIENCED 2
RECORDABLE INJURIES, THEN THE OSHA INCIDENCE
RATE IS:
OSHA IR = (2 X 200,000) /28,400
= 14.08

WHAT IS NOW KNOWN IS THAT FOR EVERY

100 EMPLOYEES, 14.08 EMPLOYEES HAVE BEEN
INVOLVED IN A RECORDABLE INJURY OR
ILLNESS.
 OSHA INCIDENCE RATE

Problem 1:
How many injuries occurred in
a chemical industry if the
OSHA incidence rate is 0.55?

7
 NOTE
PLEASE NOTE THAT SMALLER COMPANIES THAT EXPERIENCE
RECORDABLE INCIDENTS WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE HIGH
INCIDENT RATES, OR THE INCIDENT RATES WILL FLUCTUATE
SIGNIFICANTLY FROM YEAR TO YEAR.
THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE SMALL NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES (AND
HENCE THE LOWER NUMBER OF LABOR HOURS WORKED) AT THE
COMPANY.
CALCULATIONS ARE MORE MEANINGFUL AT LARGER COMPANIES
THAT HAVE A HIGHER LABOR HOUR COUNT.
 LOST TIME CASE RATE
THE LOST TIME CASE RATE (LTC) IS A SIMILAR CALCULATION,
ONLY IT USES THE NUMBER OF CASES THAT CONTAINED LOST
WORK DAYS. THE CALCULATION IS MADE BY MULTIPLYING THE
NUMBER OF INCIDENTS THAT WERE LOST TIME CASES BY
200,000 AND THEN DIVIDING THAT BY THE EMPLOYEE LABOR
HOURS AT THE COMPANY.

LTC RATE = NUMBER OF LOST TIME CASES X 200,000

TOTAL HOURS WORKED BY ALL EMPLOYEES
DURING PERIOD COVERED
 LOST TIME CASE RATE (LTC)
USING THE PREVIOUS COMPANY EXAMPLE, ASSUME THAT
ONE OF THE TWO RECORDABLE CASES HAD LOST WORK
DAYS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INCIDENT. THE
CALCULATIONS WOULD LOOK LIKE THIS:

LTC RATE = (1 X 200,000) / 28,400

= 7.04

WHAT IS NOW KNOWN IS THAT FOR EVERY 100

EMPLOYEES, 7.04 EMPLOYEES HAVE SUFFERED LOST TIME
BECAUSE OF A WORK RELATED INJURY OR ILLNESS.
 THE SAME FORMULA CAN ALSO BE USED
TO CALCULATE THE FOLLOWING:-

LOST WORK DAY RATE (LWDR)

LOST TIME INJURY RATE (LTIR)
DAYS AWAY / RESTRICTED JOB
TRANSFER RATE (DART)
THOSE RATES ARE NORMALLY USED IN
BIG COMPANY.
11
 FATAL ACCIDENT RATE (FAR)
BRITISH CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

NUMBER OF FATALITIES BASED ON 1000

EMPLOYEES WORKING THEIR ENTIRE
LIFETIME.
[AN EMPLOYEE WORKS A TOTAL OF 50 YEARS]

FAR IS BASED ON 108 (100,000,000) WORKING

HOURS.
[1000 EMPLOYEES X 50 YEARS X 50 WORK
WEEKS/YEAR X 40 HOURS/WEEK ]

12
FATAL ACCIDENT RATE (FAR)

FAR = (Number of fatalities x 108)

Total hours worked by all
employees during period
covered

13
FATAL ACCIDENT RATE (FAR)

Problem 2:
Calculate FAR if the number of
death per person per year is 4.8 x
10-5 and the employee works 8-hours
shift 300 days per year?

14
 FATALITY RATE (FR)
NUMBER OF FATALITIES EXPECTED PER PERSON PER YEAR

FR = (Number of fatalities per year)

Total number of people (per year)
in applicable population

15
FATAL ACCIDENT RATE (FAR)

Problem 3:
A plant employs 1500 full
time workers in a process
with a FAR of 5. How many
industrial related deaths are
expected each year?
