This facility employs roughly 1,800 people and 700 truck drivers (light duty). Last year the company logged 90 injuries requiring days away from work. The facility manager has asked you to report the health and safety program status compared to the national average for the next monthly meeting.

(please note that some incident rates are reported per 10,000 FTE, not 100 as discussed in class) to answer the following questions:

  1. Determine theexpectedtotal number of injuries at this facility in a year.
  2. Determine theexpectednumber of injuries requiring days away from work to drivers that may be injured at this facility in a year.
  3. Determine theexpectednumber of injuries requiring days away from work to drivers from musculoskeletal disorders. (show work and indicate which chart was used to find the incidence rate)
  4. Say the average cost of an injury is $1,000. What would be the total cost for theactualnumber of injuries at this facility for the year? (show work)
  5. Write one or two paragraphs summarizing findings that could present to the facility manager.Indicate how theactualinjury numbers compare to theexpectedinjury numbers for their industry. Include a brief discussion on the factors contributing to the total cost and a calculation and discussion of the revenue to offset the loss. (Show work) Finally, discuss how safety programs may work to make a company competitive.
