How to Make Calculation for Accident Frequency Rate?

by HSE DOCUMENTS on October 29, 2020 in EHS Guidelines

Frequency Rate Calculation:

The frequency rate used to compare accident & injury statistics either with is a company or with an industry:

FR: No of disabling injuries x 200 000

-------------------------------------------------------

Total man hours worked (hours of exposure)

For example, a company operating 6 sites or contracts which has 5 disabling injuries in a total of 1250000-man hours during a period would have frequency rate of:

5 x 200000 = or No. of accident x 10’6

1250000

Total man hours worked = Answer 0.8

Regular use of this formula will show whether or not a company own accident situation is getting better or worse.
