* The total case incidence rate<br />

is the number of OSHA recordable<br />

incidents (any occupational<br />

injury or illness that requires<br />

medical treatment beyond simple<br />

first aid) in a given year. It is<br />

determined by multiplying the<br />

recordable incidents by 200,000<br />

and dividing that number by the<br />

total hours worked that year. (The<br />

200,000 hours in the formula<br />

represents the equivalent of 100<br />

employees working 40 hours per<br />

week, 50 weeks per year, and<br />

provides the standard base for<br />

incidence rates.)<br />
