Severity Rate Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Severity Rate is:

\[ \text{SR} = \frac{\text{DL} \cdot 200,000}{\text{EHW}} \]

Where:

\( \text{SR} \) is the Severity Rate
\( \text{DL} \) is the number of work days lost
\( \text{EHW} \) is the total employee hours worked

What is Severity Rate?

A severity rate is a safety metric used to analyze the severity of workplace injuries by using the number of lost days of work and the total hours worked over a time period. It helps in understanding the impact of workplace injuries on productivity and safety.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Number of Work Days Lost (DL) = 50
Total Employee Hours Worked (EHW) = 100,000

Using the formula:

\[ \text{SR} = \frac{50 \cdot 200,000}{100,000} = 100 \]

The Severity Rate (SR) is 100.
