An employer works in a plant with a FAR of 4 If the employee

An employer works in a plant with a FAR of 4. If the employee works a 4 hr shift, 200 days/year, what is the expected deaths per person per year?

Solution

FAR = (Total number of fatalities x 10⁸)/(Total number of worked hours during the period under consideration)

Number of deaths per person per year = (4 hr/shift) x (200 shifts/ year) x (4 deaths/ 10⁸ hours)

= 3.2 x 10^-5 deaths / (person-year)
