What is our current OSHA rate for Gas Operations?

• A. 0.94
• B. 0.50
• C. 1.00
• D. 1.20

Answer: (A)

OSHA rate shows how safe the work environment is by measuring the number of recordable injuries and illnesses in relation to hours worked. It uses the formula: Rate = (Number of OSHA-recordable incidents × 200,000) / Total hours worked. The factor 200,000 corresponds to the standard annual hours for 100 full-time workers, so the rate is effectively how many recordable incidents occur per 100 full-time employees in a year. A rate of 0.94 means there are fewer than one recordable incident per year for every 100 full-time-equivalent workers, indicating relatively strong safety performance for Gas Operations. Recordable incidents include work-related injuries or illnesses that require medical treatment beyond first aid, result in lost workdays, restricted work, job transfer, or fatalities; not all minor events qualify. In short, this rate reflects keeping incident counts low relative to the amount of hours worked, and a figure around 0.94 is viewed as favorable.
