Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2019 there were 2.8 million nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses reported by private industry employers, which translates to a rate of approximately 2.8 cases per 100 full-time equivalent workers. However, if we include only the cases that resulted in days away from work, job transfer, or restriction, the rate is approximately 0.9 cases per 100 full-time equivalent workers. Therefore, the closest answer is C) 8, which is still almost three times higher than the actual rate.
