Safety Award of Excellence
The Safety Award of Excellence is presented to any fabricator or affiliate member employer who has experienced a ZERO (0.00) OSHA Total Recordable Incident Rate for the previous calendar year.
Safety Award of Achievement
The Safety Award of Achievement is presented to any fabricator or affiliate member employer who has experienced a minimum 10% reduction in the OSHA Total Recordable Incident Rate, with no fatalities, during the 2021 calendar year, as compared with the average Total Recordable Incident Rate for the three previous years.
See sample calculation below:
Calculating Incident Rate for Safety Achievement Award: Example
2021Total Recordable Incident Rate* (OSHA Statistics) 1.7
2020 Total Recordable Incident Rate* (OSHA Statistics) + 1.4
2019 Total Recordable Incident Rate* (OSHA Statistics) + 2.9
Three-year total = 6.0
3-Year Average Total Recordable Incident Rate (2019 – 2021) 6.0 (as above) ÷ 3 = 2.0
2021 Total Recordable Incident Rate (OSHA Statistics) = 1.2
% Reduction = 3 Year Average Rate – 2021 Rate: 2.0 – 1.2 X 100 = 40% reduction
3 Year Average Rate 2.0
*Calculating OSHA Annual Recordable Incident Rate
To calculate the total case rate for all recordable incidents of injuries and illnesses, use the following formula:
Total number of injuries and illnesses x 200,000** ÷ Number of hours worked by all employees = Total Recordable Incident Rate
**The 200,000 multiplier in the sample formula represents hours worked by 100 employees, 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year. It is the standard base for calculating incidents rates.
