    This document discusses three metrics for measuring workplace safety: OSHA incidence rate which measures non-fatal injuries per 100,000 hours worked; FAR fatal accident rate which measures fatalities per 1,000 employees based on total hours worked over a career; and FR fatality rate which measures deaths per person per year but does not define exposure. All three metrics aim to evaluate workplace safety with lower rates being preferable.

     OSHA Occupational Safety & Health Administration

     incidence rate per 100 worker years = 200,000 hours exposure


     100 years x 2000 hours/year

     FAR Fatal Accident Rate


     fatalities per 1000 employees and entire life = 108 hours
    exposure
     50 years x 2000 hours/year x 1000 employees

     FR Fatality Rate
     per person per year (exposure poorly defined)

     For all of these indicators, smaller is better!
