Number of hrs worked py full time emplyee = 85 emplyee * 8 hrs/day *5 day /week* 52.285 week in 2016 =
177769 hrs
Over time work by full time emplyee = 2900 hrs
Number of hrs worked py part time emplyee = 25 emplyee * 8 hrs/day *5 day /week* 52.285 week in 2016 =
52285 hrs
Over time work by part time emplyee = 1500 hrs
Total number of hrs = Number of hrs worked py full time emplyee+Over time work by full time emplyee+Number of hrs worked py part time emplyee+Over time work by part time emplyee
Total number of hrs =177769 hrs+2900 hrs+52285 hrs+1500 hrs = 234454 hrs
OSHA Incidence rate= (Number of injuries and illnesses X 200,000) / Employee hours worked
OSHA Incidence rate= (18 X 200,000) / 234454 = 15.3548
