Incidence rates represent the number of injuries and illnesses per 10,000 full-time workers and were calculated as: (N/EH) x 20,000,000 where
N = number of injuries and illnesses during the reference period
EH = total hours worked by all employees during the reference period
20,000,000 = base for 10,000 equivalent full-time workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year).
