a. Utilities industries have an average of 700 staff per year. Determine

the Fatality Rate for year 2019.

b. The total number of hours work for Construction is 250,000. Calculate

the number of occupational illness, if there was no fatality case
reported, and the number of illness and injury is similar in OSHA
Incidence Rate.

c. Calculate the Lost Time Injury Rate of Transport & warehouse, if in the
of OSHA Incidence Rate reported has total lost workdays of 19.

2. The Three process units are in a plant. The units have FARs of 0.6, 0.6 &
2.8 respectively in a year.

a. Calculate the overall FAR for this plant, assuming worker exposure to
all three units simultaneously?

b. Assume now that the units are far enough apart that an accident in one
would not affect the workers in another. If a worker spends 35% of his
time in process area 1, 55% in process area 2 and 10% in process
area 3 in a year, evaluate his overall FAR?
