Workshop: Computation of Accident's: - Frequency Rate & - Severity Rate

The document discusses a workshop on computing accident frequency rate and severity rate held by the Department of Labor and Employment's Occupational Safety and Health Center. It defines frequency rate as the number of disabling injuries per 1,000,000 employee-hours of exposure and severity rate as the number of days lost and/or charged per 1,000,000 employee-hours. Formulas are provided to calculate both rates. An example is given showing the computation of frequency and severity rates for four groups with different employee numbers, injuries, days lost, and employee work hours.

Frequency Rate
Disabling Frequency Rate – the number of disabling injuries per
1,000,000 employee-hours exposure.

Frequency Rate (FR) = No. of disabling injury X 1,000,000


Total Employee-Hour Exposure

Frequency Rate (FR) = 10 X 1,000,000


200,000 Assuming:
# of Disabling Injuries = 10
Frequency Rate (FR) = 50
Total Emp-Hr Exp = 200,000

Severity Rate
Disabling Severity Rate – the number of days lost and/or charged
per 1,000,000 employee-hours exposure

Severity Rate (SR) = Total days lost X 1,000,000


Total Employee-Hour Exposure

Severity Rate (SR) = (200) X 1,000,000


200,000 Assuming:
Total days lost = 200
Severity Rate (SR) = 1,000
Total emp-hrs Exp = 200,000
