Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The incidence rate is calculated as the number of injuries (1) per 100 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees. An FTE is based on 2,000 hours worked per year. The total hours worked in the period are 8,000. To find the incidence rate, divide the total hours worked by the number of injuries, then normalize to 100 FTEs: (1 injury / 8,000 hours) * (200,000 hours / 1 FTE) = 25 injuries per 100 FTEs.
