How do I calculate the chance that I will be injured if I work at my Company for 10 years?

Hi Michael - you would have to extrapolate out from any date provided by the HSE I suspect (no idea if you could get hold of any of the raw numbers) but you would also need to consider what you do as a job.....sitting writing policies in an office or mining for stuff in the North Sea!

Of course if you have very robust accident reporting and stats already for your company, you can use those to work it out.

Base it on 100,000hrs (which is what anybody would approximately work in their life) this helps in explaining the figures to employees in a more friendly/ understandable manner. You can either do it weekly, monthly or whatever. The formula is: (Number of accidents x 100,000 hrs) / hrs worked. your example 60 employees would work 140400 hrs in the year (45hrs per person per week) and you have 5 reportable accidents. (5 x 100,000) / 140400 = 3.56. your reportable accident rate for the year based on 100,000 hrs worked is 3.56, which means that an employee working in your company is likely to have 3.56 reportable accidents during their life if they worked there all their life.
