Evaluate incidents with flexible scoring and exposure normalization. Compare outcomes, costs, and downtime across periods. Build stronger controls using consistent accident severity measurement methods.
Large screens show three columns, medium screens show two, and mobile shows one.
Weighted Incident Score = (Fatalities × Fatality Weight) + (Permanent Disabilities × Permanent Weight) + (Lost Time Injuries × LTI Weight) + (Restricted Cases × Restricted Weight) + (Medical Treatment Cases × Medical Weight) + (First Aid Cases × First Aid Weight) + (Near Misses × Near Miss Weight)
Lost Day Burden = (Days Lost × Lost Day Weight) + (Restricted Duty Days × Restricted Day Weight)
Cost Burden = (Property Damage Cost + Environmental Cost + Legal Cost) ÷ Cost Divisor
Raw Severity Score = Weighted Incident Score + Lost Day Burden + Cost Burden
Accident Severity Index = Raw Severity Score × (Base Normalization Hours ÷ Hours Worked)
This model is a configurable management index. It helps compare periods, sites, and business units using one consistent severity framework.
| Period | Fatalities | LTI | Restricted | Medical | Near Misses | Days Lost | Total Cost | Hours Worked | Illustrative ASI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| January | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 6 | 12 | $17,000 | 45,000 | 310.22 |
| February | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 6 | $8,000 | 50,000 | 191.20 |
| March | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 2 | $3,000 | 52,000 | 84.62 |
| April | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 20 | $40,000 | 47,000 | 306.38 |
It measures the combined impact of accident counts, lost days, and financial consequences. The calculator converts these into a single normalized management score for easier comparison across periods or locations.
No. This is a configurable management index. It supports internal risk analysis and prioritization, while legal reporting often follows fixed definitions and regulatory formulas.
Different organizations treat outcomes differently. Some place heavier emphasis on fatalities, while others prioritize lost time, restricted work, or cost impact. Custom weights reflect your internal risk philosophy.
Base hours let you compare units with different exposure levels. A common choice is 200,000 hours, but you can use another base that matches your internal reporting standard.
They can be. Near misses usually carry low weight, but including them helps highlight weak controls and recurring exposure patterns before serious injuries happen.
Include direct accident-related costs that matter to your analysis, such as property damage, environmental cleanup, fines, legal cost, contractor impact, and similar measurable financial consequences.
The bands provide quick management guidance. Low means limited impact, while Severe or Critical signals urgent review of controls, exposure conditions, and corrective actions.
Yes. That is one of its best uses. Keep the same weights, divisor, and normalization base across departments so the comparison stays fair and consistent.
