Example FormulasIncidence Rate

the number of injuries and illnesses per 100full-time workers and were calculated as:

(N/EH) x 200,000

where N = number of injuries and illnesses EH = total hours

worked by all employees during the calendar year 200,000 =

base for 100 equivalent full-time workers (working 40 hours per

week, 50 weeks per year).
