Example Formulas ®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 hours worked by all employees during the calendar year 200,000 = base for 100 equivalent full-time workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year).
