Epidemiologists use various measures to assess workplace accidents, such as:
- Incidence rates: The number of new accidents per 1,000 employees over a specific period. - Prevalence rates: The total number of existing accidents at a given point in time. - Severity rates: The number of days lost due to accidents per 1,000 employees. - Mortality rates: The number of deaths resulting from workplace accidents per 100,000 employees.
