Expert Solution

OSHA Incidence rate= (Number of injuries and illnesses X 200,000) / Employee hours worked

Where The 200,000 figure in the formula represents the number of hours 100 employees working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year would work, and provides the standard base for calculating incidence rate for an entire year.

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
