Can someone let me know how I can find out the Construction Industry AFR for 2010, as I am trying to benchmark how our company is doing in relation to past statistics. Thanks Dave

Dave On the assumption you are bigger than the average contractor then you should be outperforming the average which means that benchmarking against average AIR or AFR not really appropriate. Members of the UK Contractors Group all submit information to UKCG. ECIA stats for 2010 from websites below 140 RIDDORs per 100,000. Within total stats is a sub-group for the largest projects 203 RIDDORs per 100,000 Haven’t got latest UKCG accident incidence rates, but above and ECIA stats are a starting point for SMART targets. 2009/2010 statistics for construction on HSE website in each case per 100,000 per year are Fatals – 2 Non-fatals – reportable (rather than reported) – 1300 based on Labour Force Survey – (Estimates RIDDOR underreporting ~ 50%) HSE website has just been updated with 2010/11 data. Kier and supply chain 2009 - AIR 404, 2010 - 312. Interserve – 2009 – AIR 344. Some other major contractors numbers much, much smaller but probably not counting supply chain. AFR defined as UK RIDDOR Accident Frequency Rate (per 100,000 hours) =Reportable Injuries/No. Hours Worked * 100,000, then I think that current UKCG rate is an average of 0.35 but with some members at about less, examples Balfour Beatty 0.16 (2010), Vinci (including Taylor Woodrow) 0.3 (2009) ECIA AFR 2010 0.07 derived from http://www.eureka-market...uk/ecia/ecia_summary.pdf only covers direct employees. NJCECI AFR 2010 0.11 derived from http://www.njceci.org.uk...accident-statistics.html
