Good morning all, I predict this has been asked previously - so apologies in advance... here goes: The NEBOSH National Diploma (Module A) course book and the HSG65 (second edition) both show the formula for the aforementioned with the multiplier sitting level at the end of the division line: 32 ------------ x 100,000 5600 My interpretation of this would lead me to first divide the top and bottom parameters, then multiply. However, having worked through some examples, it appears the process would be to use the multiplier with the top parameter only (e.g. no. of accidents in period), then divide by the bottom parameter (e.g. no. employed / man hours worked in period): 32 x 100,000

5600 Am I missing something here? Thanks in advance! Simon

Just realised my error - DOH! Sorry all Simple Simon

I realised my error just after I hit the post button (may have saved a few blushes if I'd been quicker)! For some reason, the forum wouldn't allow me to post as quickly as I could've, I had to log out first - adding to the misery. Ah well, back to the study - I'll have forgotten my own name come exam day! All the best Simon

Accident Incidence Rates. I hope I do not get this question on the 21st January as my Maths is shocking. Everything else in the syllabus is fine, until I get this question. Any advice to tackle this gremlin would be appreciated. Thank You. Regards Allan
