Number of work-related accidents includes only accidents that resulted in at least one full workday of leave. It excludes accidents that employees suffered when commuting.

Work-related accident rate is calculated as follows: Number of employees who experienced a work-related accident × 1,000,000 / Total person-hours

Work-related accident severity rate is calculated as follows: Number of lost workdays / Total person-hours × 1,000

The work-related accident rate is shown with the third decimal place rounded off
A score of “0” indicates that absolutely no fatal work-related accidents occurred.
On the other hand, a score of “0.00” would indicate a fatality rate higher than 0 but less than 0.005.
