I am compliling 2011s accident statistics for my organisation. I have so far multiplied number of accidents by 100000 and divided this by number of employees. What I need to know is how my answer compares with the national average (property management sector). Any ideas please most welcome

I would try here http://www.hse.gov.uk/st...stics/industry/index.htm as your first port of call.

I think you'll find that you need to divide by the number of hours worked if you are looking to obtain the frequency rate

There are two general ways of doing this, incidence rates and frequency rates. Incident rayes are calculated by muliplying the number of accidents by 100 and deviding it by the number of employees. Frequency rates are calculated by multiplying the number of accidents by 100,000 and deviding that by the number of hours worked as Juan has pointed out . But, the main thing you wanted was were the figures for an industry sector comparison can be found. Try the HSE website as your first point of call or even go to one of the industry specific sites and see what you can find there.

"Any ideas most welcome"............
........I am not a fan of these kind of statistics, all quite meaningless and potentially very misleading.
In measuring accident rates you are conducting an inaccurate measurement of failure, where the outcomes are very often down to chance or luck -a very misleading measure of "performance".
Comparison with the stats. of others for such 'chance' results is equally meaningless. I'd rather have an at least equal focus on active SMS measurement activity performance in order to give a balanced and comparative score card, along with supporting information about the resources devoted to investigations, outcomes, reduction iniatives and the like.
