Comparative measures
(a) The frequency rate occupational injury:
(Number of new cases of occupational
injury in the reference period) _________________________________ (Total number of hours worked by workers in the reference group in the reference period) x 1 000 000
of
new
cases
of
18
Consider the following; Reference group: Construction industry in Zimbabwe Reference period: 1 month Total workers: 1 000 6 workers injured once, 1 worker injured twice & 3 workers injured once but while working outside the country Working hrs per week: 40 Hrs worked by the 1 000 workers = 40 * 4 * 1 000 = 160 000 hrs
Then, Frequency rate = 8 injuries
* 1 000 000
(No. of new cases of occupational injury in the reference period) ___________________________________ (Total number of workers in the reference group in the reference period)
x 1 000
20
* 1 000
21
(No. of days lost as a result of new cases of occupational injury during the reference period) ___________________________________________
(Total amount of time worked by workers in the reference group during reference period)
x 1 000 000
22
1 000 000
160 000 total work-hrs = 1 87.5 days lost per 1 000 000 hrs i.e. out of every 1 000 000 work hours 1 87.5 days are lost
