2.  SHARE: The Safety, Health and Return to Employment (SHARE) initiative is a Presidential initiative that requires all federal agencies reduce their accident rates by 3% each year.  Lost Time Case Rate (LTCR): The LTCR measures the severity of BLM employee injuries and illnesses, per 100 employees. Lost Time Cases are severe enough that an employee cannot return to work the day after the incident.  Total Case Rate: The TCR measures the frequency of BLM employee injuries and illnesses, per 100 employees. Only injuries and illnesses that require more than first aid treatment are reflected in this rate.  Recordable Injury Rate: Recordable injuries are injuries which require treatment beyond first aid, and/or result in days away from work.  Continuation of Pay (COP): COP is the payment made to an injured employee who cannot come back to work for the first 45 calendar days after an injury.  FTSP: Full Time Safety Professional  FTE: Full Time Equivalent

BLM’s TCR, however, was higher than both DOI’s TCR and the average TCR for Federal Agencies. BLS Figures

12.  SMIS collects data for specific ages, but not for cohorts. For example, it can tell you that 25 year olds were injured more than any other workers in FY 2008, but it cannot tell you which groups (people in their 30s, 40s, etc) experienced the most accidents.  I have created 5 year cohorts starting from age 18 in order to track accident trends in a more meaningful way. 12 FY 2005FY 2006FY 2007FY 2008 23-27 yrs (202)23-27 yrs (241)23-27 yrs (213)23-27 yrs (224) 28-32 yrs (164) 28-32 yrs (185)28-32 yrs (170) 48-52 yrs (163)18-22 yrs (142)48-52 yrs (123)53-57 yrs (137) 53-57 yrs (147)48-52 yrs (133)18-22 yrs (113)18-22 yrs (125) 18-22 yrs (143)33-37 yrs (118)33-37 yrs (113)33-37 yrs (112)
