injury rates

Accident frequency data

Injury rates measure how frequently injuries occur within a population or activity, typically expressed as incidents per unit of time, participants, or hours of exposure.

Workplace safety tracks injury rates per thousand employees; sports medicine compares injury rates across activities: Running has higher injury rates than swimming.

The metric helps identify hazards and evaluate prevention efforts.
