A-10 Occupation-Specific Rate-Adjustment Calculation Worksheet

The data analysis section of this workbook, Operational Processes, Analyze Sharps Injury Data , discusses the adjustment of occupation-specific injury rates based on levels of compliance with injury reporting policies. This worksheet helps facilitate computation of this adjusted rate. Organizations that have surveyed healthcare personnel (Appendix A-3) to determine compliance with reporting occupational exposures to blood and body fluids can use these data to adjust injury rates.
