Posted By artisdeeian Luke the Accident Incident Rate is a calculation of: Number of Reportable Incidents x 1000 divided by number of employees. So 1 over 3 day x 1000 divide by 200 = 5%

Posted By Jay Joshi The rate cannot be 5%, but it is 5 per 1000 or if expressed as a percentage, then it will be 0.5% ! It is vital to take note of the standard rate factor used when comparing any accident rate data. For example, the HSE uses a rate factor of 100,000. Diffrent rate factors are used to avoid use of decimals, therefore at company level, using a factor of 100 could be OK, but fornational statistics, due to the larger numbers of those employed in various sectors, a factor of 100,000 is used.
