�Incidence Rate�the number of injuries and illnesses per 100

full-time workers and were calculated as:

�(N/EH) x 200,000

� where N = number of injuries and illnesses EH = total hoursworked by all employees during the calendar year 200,000 =base for 100 equivalent full-time workers (working 40 hours perweek, 50 weeks per year).

Misuse of Metrics

�Comparison of data prepared usingdifferent criteria

�Assumption of trends

�Assumption of relationships

�Extrapolation (logic flaws)


Innovative Ideas and FutureUses of Metrics

�Life Cycle Costs

�Cost Avoidance

�Employee Participation

�Supervisor Participation

�Inter/Intranets
