You have just calculated your establishment's nonfatal injury and illness incidence rate(s) per 100 full-time employees for a given year. Four different incidence rates can be calculated:
Total Rate = Total recordable injury and illness cases
Days Away Rate = Cases involving days away from work
Job Transfer/Restriction Rate = Cases involving job transfer or restricted work activity only
DART Rate = Total cases involving days away from work, days of restricted work activity, and/or job transfer
Incidence rates can be used to show the relative level of injuries and illnesses among different industries, firms, or operations within a single firm. Because a common base and a specific period of time are involved, these rates can help determine both problem areas and progress in preventing work-related injuries and illnesses.
The incidence rate of injuries and illnesses is computed from the following formula:
(Number of injuries and illnesses X 200,000)/ Employee hours worked = Incidence rate
(The 200,000 hours in the formula represents the equivalent of 100 employees working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year, and provides the standard base for the incidence rates.)
