A brief description of the methodology used to track and calculate the number of recordable incidents of work-related injury or ill health :
OSHA has established specific calculations that enable the University to report the Recordable Injuries, Lost Time Case Rates and Frequency Rates. The Standard Base Rate (SBR) calculation is based on a rate of 200,000 labor hours which equates to 100 employees who work 40 hours per week for 50 weeks per year. Using the SBR allows the University to calculate their rate(s) per 100 employees.
1 The Lost Time Case Rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Lost Time Cases by 200,000 then dividing by the labor hours at the University.
2 The Frequency Rate is calculated by multiplying the number of recordable cases by 200,000 then dividing by the labor hours at the University.
3 The number of days are total days for the life of the cases first reported during this period.
The Bureau of Labor Statics 2021 Injury, Illness, and Fatalities, Table 1 reports for Colleges and Universities;
the average LOST TIME CASE RATE of days away from work was 0.6 and the average FREQUENCY RATE was 1.4.
1 The Lost Time Case Rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Lost Time Cases by 200,000 then dividing by the labor hours at the University.
2 The Frequency Rate is calculated by multiplying the number of recordable cases by 200,000 then dividing by the labor hours at the University.
