*From 2016, the work-related accident case calculations are limited to accidents requiring one or more days absence from work (excluding commuting accidents). (Including accidents resulting in time off work in 2014 and 2015)
*1 Work-related accident frequency rate =
(Number of employees involved in accidents requiring absence from work ÷ Total number of working hours) × 1,000,000
*2 Work-related accident severity rate =
(Number of work-days lost ÷ Total number of working hours) x 1,000
*3 The work-related accident rate is shown with the third decimal place rounded off
“0” ……Indicates that there were no deaths due to work-related accidents.
“0.00” … Shows that when the third decimal place was rounded off, the number was smaller than two decimal places.
