Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) reports workplace injuries and occupational disease cases to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as numbers of incidents out of total employees (who worked for the University for any length of time, and for any number of hours per week, full or part-time, including student workers). Therefore, the number of "employees" of IUPUI, for consistency with EHS and OSHA is 19,621 in the performance year. The above figures represent incidents of an annual average of 19,621 employees (including student & PT employees) working 25,596,832 hours. This is the figure we have used rather than the Pre-5 figure, which comes from the IU Faculty + Staff Headcount (excluding student hourly).
Data provided is from calendar year 2019, while full-time equivalent data in Pre-5 is from FY19 (July 1 2018-June 30 2019).
