INCIDENT RATE - a mathematical calculation that describes the number of employees per 100 full-time employees that have

been involved in a recordable injury or illness. Incident Rate Incident Rate (or Incident Rate) is calculated by multiplying the number of recordable cases by 200 000 and then dividing that number by the number of labor hours at the company. !umber of "#$% Recordable &ases ' 200 000 IR ( ----------------------------------------------------------!umber of )mployee labor hours *or+ed Rate &alculation ),ample - a company has 1- full-time employees and . part-time employees that each *or+ 20 hours per *ee+. /his e0uates to 21 200 labor hours each year.
