Understanding OSHA Frequency and Severity Rates for Improved Workplace Safety

This guide explains the importance of calculating OSHA Frequency and Severity Rates, which reflect workplace safety performance. The Frequency Rate indicates the number of accidents per 100 employees, while the Severity Rate measures lost workdays per 100 employees. Understanding these metrics allows organizations to assess their accident prevention progress, benchmark against industry standards, and foster healthy competition. Key data required includes employee hours worked and OSHA logs, with calculations based on the formula (Variable X 200,000) divided by employee hours worked.
