A brief description of the methodology used to track and calculate the number of recordable incidents of work-related injury or ill health :
Employers with more than 10 employees are required to keep a record of serious work-related injuries and illnesses. Minor injuries requiring first aid only do not need to be recorded.

This information helps employers, workers, and OSHA evaluate the safety of a workplace, understand industry hazards and implement worker protections to reduce and eliminate hazards - preventing future workplace injuries and illnesses.

The records must be maintained at the worksite for at least five years. Each February through April, employers must post a summary of the injuries and illnesses recorded the previous year. Also, if requested, copies of the records must be provided to current and former employees, or their representatives.

Annual number of recordable incidents of work-related injury or ill health per 100 FTE employees:
2.47
