Incidence Rates

You can use this report to calculate the incident rate at your location and compare your rate to other organizations within your industry and to your organization's internal goals. You can also identify trends in your incident rates over the course of months and years.

Note: This functionality is available only to customers who have licensed the Incident Management System (IMS) module in PureSafety.

PureSafety tab > Reports > IMS section > Incidence Rates

The Incidence Rate trend graphs display for each location allowing you to easily identify trends and cycles if multiple locations are selected. The incidence rate tables for each location will display on separate pages after the trend graphs.

Additional fields display when you save the report as data. You can see more information about the factors involved in the incidence rate calculation.

Report Parameters

Additional fields display when selecting Enter Hours Worked from the Location Hours field. The additional fields are shown in the image below.

Parameter	Default Value	Details
Injury Location	None selected	All locations are included by default.
Location Hours	Use System Data	Selecting Use System Data pulls the hours worked from the Location record. Note: Yearly hours worked totals are automatically calculated based on each location's monthly totals. The hours worked total is considered estimated if any of the monthly totals are marked Is Estimated. The Hours Worked and Hours Estimated parameters will not display unless you select Enter Hours Worked from the Source Hours Worked drop-down.
Hours Worked Per Location	0	Select the checkbox if the hours entered are estimated.
Hours	Blank	This option is available only if you select Enter Hours Worked in the Location Hours parameter. Enter the total hours worked.
Hours Estimated?	Unchecked	This option is available only if you select Enter Hours Worked in the Location Hours parameter.
Period	Year	Yearly hours worked totals are calculated when running the report and update the yearly total on the location record.
Metric	Total Recordable Cases	Days Away from Work Cases (DAFW) Days Away from Work, Job Transfer, or Restriction Cases (DART) Days of Job Transfer or Restriction Cases (DJTR) Lost Workday Severity Rate Note: The data version of the report includes the number used in calculating the lost workday severity rate. Only Hearing Cases Only Injury Cases Only Other Illness Cases Only Poisoning Cases Only Respiratory Condition Cases Only Skin Disorder Cases Other Recordable Cases (ORC) Total Injury and Illness Cases (TIIR) Total Recordable Cases (TRC)

Note: When a location is missing Hours Worked, the incidence rate displays as a dash (-) for that date period.

Calculations for Incident Rates

The column(s) in the calculations below refer to the corresponding column(s) on the OSHA 300 report.

Note: The calculations below use the standard yearly metric (200,000) for incident rates. If you are calculating incident rates for a month, the system standard monthly metric (16,666) will be used. If you are calculating individual illness rates, the standard yearly metric (20,000,000) and the standard monthly metric (1,666,666) will be used for the appropriate time period.

The Total Hours Worked in the calculation refers to metric entered in the Hours field on the Incident Rates parameters screen.

Metric	Calculation	OSHA 300 Column Name
Nonfatal Total Recordable Case (NF-TRC) Rate	Number of non-fatal injuries and illnesses X standard factor / Total Hours Worked 1, 666, 666 is used when calculating individual illness rates for a year.
Days Away from Work, Job Transfer, or Restriction Cases Rate (DART)	(Column H + Column I) X standard factor / Total Hours Worked	Column H: Days away from work Column I: Job transfer or restriction
Days Away from Work Cases Rate (DAFW)	(Column H X standard factor) / Total Hours Worked This rate calculates the number of cases with lost work days.	Days away from work
Lost Workday Severity Rate	(Number of lost days on injury records X standard factor) / Total Hours Worked PureSafety tab > IMS > Injuries > open injury record > Case This rate calculates the number of lost days in case records. Injury records with a date of death are not included in this rate. Only LWDs are included when an injury record contains both LWDs and RWDs.	Days away from work
Days of Job Transfer or Restriction Cases Rate (DJTR)	(Column I X standard factor) / Total Hours Worked	Job transfer or restriction
Other Recordable Cases Rate (ORC)	(Column J X standard factor) / Total Hours Worked	Other recordable cases
Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR)	(Column G + Column H + Column I + Column J X standard factor) / Total Hours Worked	Column G: Death Column H: Days away from work Column I: Job transfer or restriction Column J: Other recordable cases
Injury Only Cases Rate	(Column M1 X standard factor) / Total Hours Worked	Injury
Skin Disorder Cases Rate	(Column M2 X standard factor) / Total Hours Worked	Skin Disorder
Respiratory Condition Cases Rate	(Column M3 X standard factor) / Total Hours Worked	Respiratory Condition
Poisoning Cases Rate	(Column M4 X standard factor) / Total Hours Worked	Poisoning
Hearing Cases Rate	(Column M5 X standard factor) / Total Hours Worked	Hearing
All Other Illness Cases Rate	(Column M6 X standard factor) / Total Hours Worked	All Other Illness
