Frequency Rate = # lost time injuries X 200,000 divided by hours worked Severity Rate = # DAYS lost due to work injuries X 200,000 divided by hours worked This gives you the number of injuries (or days lost) per 100 people working The terms were used by the National Safety Council unitl the early 70's when they were replaced by "incidence rates"
