Hi, Just wanted to confirm that if you use the calculation for accident severity rate (Lost days/Man hour worked x 100,000) provides you with number of days lost per 100 employees?

Is there a main database to bench this number against to see how you compare against the industry?

Not just one, but several.

HSE,
RoSPA,
Labour Force survey.

Knock yourself out.

Nope

Your calc = lost days per hour worked. The x 100,000 is just to make it a meaningful number for benchmarking and would equal lost time per 100,000 hours.
Days lost per 100 employees would =
Lost days / number of employees x 100.

I think HSG65 contains a list of common calcualtions
