These lost time injuries resulted in 16 days away from work. There were 4 otherrecordable cases that required a job transfer or a restriction for the employee to return to work.

2. Use the form on page 77 to calculate the incidence rates for the NJ facility.

3. Using the Bureau of Labor Statistics website, compare these accident statistics to the national average for all industries and the industry specific incidence

rate.[1] What conclusions can you draw about your facility compared to others in the same business?

4. Based on the average cost of injury claims in 2014, how much money do you estimate that Spark in a Box spent on total workmen's compensation claims?

5. The NSC report discusses the hazards of slips, trips and falls in the work place. Given the data provided on page 71, what trends do you see?

6. Discuss and cite at least two "peer reviewed papers" that describe trends in fatalities in US industries over the past 10 years.
