    For years 2016 and later, “number of work-related accidents” includes only accidents (other than those employees suffered when commuting) that resulted in at least one full workday of leave. For 2014 and 2015, it also includes accidents that did not result in such.
  • *1
    Work-related accident rate is calculated as follows: Number of employees who experienced a work-related accident × 1,000,000 / Total person-hours
  • *2
    Work-related accident severity rate is calculated as follows: Number of lost workdays / Total person-hours × 1,000
  • *3
    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.
