Note:

The Severity Rate is a key workplace safety metric that measures the impact of workplace injuries by assessing the number of lost workdays relative to total hours worked. It helps organizations understand the seriousness of incidents and improve safety measures.

Understanding the Parameters:

• Lost Workdays: The total number of days employees were unable to work due to occupational injuries or illnesses. A higher number of lost workdays indicates more severe incidents.
• Total Hours Worked: The total number of hours worked by all employees during a specific period, including regular hours, overtime, and shift work. This provides context for calculating the impact of lost time.
