Question: PLEASE CAN YOU ANSWER QUESTION 8 BELOW IS THE CALCULATED INJURY FREQUENCY AND SEVERITY RATE Case One: Upon graduation from the college, you are employed


PLEASE CAN YOU ANSWER QUESTION 8
Case One: Upon graduation from the college, you are employed as the human resource assistant at Netech Inc., a newly incorporated manufacturing company in Primary metal manufacturing (331). It employs 532 people, with a projected insurable payroll of $37,523,146 annually. The company operates one 8-hour shift per day for 251 days last year. The company records show that the incidents and injuries happened last year as the following: 53 medical aid injuries with no days lost 20 equipment failures that caused a total of 40 days loss 11 property damage incidents with a total of 17 days lost 36 injuries requiring medical attention with a total of 293 days lost Part of your responsibilities is to coordinate the firm's health and safety practices. In your first week of employment, you found that the company has not yet registered with Ontario Workplace Safety and Insurance Board. You talked with the President over the matter and he suggested that you should provide guidelines for the registration, and present the guidelines to the management meeting that is scheduled to be held next week. The president would like you to explain clearly the following aspects in your proposed registration guidelines. You also need to calculate the injury frequency and injury severity rate (Remember that you are preparing a report to your company. Do not copy materials directly from the website): explain and show your calculations step-by-step in your report), 8. Explain how these the calculated injury frequency and injury severity rate will be used by the WSBI in Experience Rating program to assess the company's H&S operations. Injury Frequency for 2021: 1. (Number of lost time injury/Man hours worked) *2,00,000 2. In the given question, Number of lost time injury = 20+11+36 3. Or 67 Lost time injury and, Man hours worked = 532*251*8 Or,1,068,256 Man hours. 4. Hence Frequency rate = (67/1068256) *2,00,000 Or 12.54 Frequency Rate is 12.54. 5. Severity rate as per Occupational safety and Health Administration - (Total number of lost days/Total Man hours worked) 200,000 6. Total number of lost days = 40+17+293 Or, 340 lost days And, Man hours worked = 532 251*8 Or,1,068,256 Man hours. Hence Severity rate = (340/1068256) -2,00,000 Or, 63.65 Severity Rate = 63.65 7. The calculation of 200,000 as per Occupational safety and Health Administration is based on assumption that 100 workers are worked with 40 hours per week and 50 weeks in a year BELOW IS THE CALCULATED INJURY FREQUENCY AND SEVERITY RATE
