The analysis tool quantifies workplace safety performance. It provides a metric demonstrating the number of work-related injuries and illnesses per a standardized number of employee hours. For example, a result of 3.0 indicates three such incidents occurred for every 100 full-time employees working a standard 40-hour week for a year.
This calculation offers several crucial benefits. It enables organizations to benchmark their safety performance against industry standards, track progress over time, and identify areas needing improvement. Historically, this data has been used to drive proactive safety measures, ultimately reducing workplace hazards and associated costs, fostering a stronger safety culture.
