A brief description of the methodology used to track and calculate the number of recordable incidents of work-related injury or ill health :
UCI annually reports incidents of work-related injuries and illnesses using the CalOSHA Form 300A, per state requirements. The 2020 CalOSHA Form 300A is provided below as an attachment and is based on data using the annual average number of employees and the total hours worked by all employees. As shown in Form 300A, the annual average number of employees in 2020 was 15,232 and the total hours worked by all employees was 22,345,867 (See attache Form 300A). PRE-5 data was not carried over for this credit due to standard reporting procedures differing per CalOSHA requirements. The annual average number of employees (15,232) is the headcount of all main campus staff, faculty, and student employees; they do not report using FTE of employees nor is this information able to be extracted. This includes all employees - full time, part-time, temporary, seasonal, salaries, and hourly.
UCI uses the TRIR formula as provided by CalOSHA:
Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) = Total number of recordable cases X 200,000/total hours worked by all employees
TRIR = 159 recordable cases X 200,000/22,345,867 hours worked = 1.4
All incidents are reported to the university through: Report an Injury, Safety Concern, Near-Miss, or COVID-19 Safety Concern (https://ehs.uci.edu/forms/report-injury/index.php) and reported to UCI Workers’ Compensation and EHS office. Incidents are determined to be recordable by the Workers’ Compensation office.
