I’m surprised the numbers are so low for a full-time staff of 53!

The frequency rate is calculated as (lost workday cases / total employees) * 1,000.

This question feels familiar; I think I practiced something similar where we had to calculate both rates.

I think the severity rate is based on total days lost divided by the number of employees, but I can't recall the exact numbers.

Alright, I think I've got it. The frequency rate is 4 / 53 = 7.5, and the severity rate is 27 / 53 = 50.9. Option A looks like the correct answer.

I've got this! The frequency rate is the number of lost workday cases divided by the number of employees, and the severity rate is the number of lost workdays divided by the number of employees. Easy peasy!

I got it! The answer is A) 7.5 and 50.9. Can't be too hard on these safety questions, right? I'm not trying to get a 'lost workday' myself, if you know what I mean.

You're close, but I believe the correct answer is C) 7.5 and 51.9. The frequency rate is the number of lost workday cases divided by the number of full-time employees, and the severity rate is the number of days lost divided by the number of full-time employees.

I think it's actually A) 7.5 and 50.9. The frequency rate is calculated by dividing the number of lost workday cases by the number of full-time employees, and the severity rate is calculated by dividing the number of days lost by the number of full-time employees.

I think the correct answer is A) 7.5 and 50.9. The frequency rate is calculated by dividing the number of lost workday cases by the number of employees, which gives 7.5. The severity rate is calculated by dividing the number of lost days by the number of lost workday cases, which gives 50.9.
