    The calculation methodology for indicators related to labour accidents and disasters is as follows.
    Data collection period: From January 1 to December 31 each year

    1) Frequency rate
    Lost time injury frequency rate = (Number of lost time injuries / Total number of work hours) × 1,000,000
    Total number of work hours is based on actual work hours.

    2) Severity rate
    Labour accident and disaster severity rate = (Number of lost work days / Total number of work hours) × 1,000
    Number of lost work days: In the case of death or serious injury = 7,500 days. In the case of temporary disability = The number of calendar days taken off work multiplied by 300/365
