Question
A local government employer has 2,158 workers who worked a total of 4,500,430 hours in 2015.Those employees sustained 95 recordable injuries with days away from work, 19 recordable injuries with restricted/transferred duties and 98 other recordable injuries.Calculate the total recordable cases rate (TRC),DART and DAFWII.
How do this employer's injury rates compare to recent national averages for all industries and for local governments,specifically?
In what local government industry sector do you feel this employer works,assuming the incident rates you've calculated are typical for other similar employers nationwide.
Explanation / Answer
Total recordable cases rate (TRC),
= (Total number of recorable cases / total number of man hours worked ) x 2,00,000
= (212/ 4,500, 430) x 2,00,000
= 9.4213
DART Rate (Days Away/Restricted or Job Transfer Rate),
= (Total number of DART incidents / total number of man hours worked ) x 2,00,000
= (114/4,500,430) x 200000
= 5.0661
DAFWII rate (Days Away From Work) is
= (Total number of DAFWII incidents / total number of man hours worked ) x 2,00,000
= (95/4,500,430) x 200000
= 4.2218
The given local government employer has higher rates of TRC, DART and DARWII when compared with national averages for all industries which is at 3.3 and for local governments which is at 5.6.
Considering the TRC,DART and DARWII incident rates in this population, the local government employer works in construction and goods-producing sector.
