Impact (environmental)
Any change to the environment, whether adverse or beneficial, wholly or partially resulting from an organization's activities, products or services.

Injury/Illness Rate
The calculation for the injury/illness rate is based on the number of recordable occupational injury/illness cases multiplied by 200,000 then divided by the hours worked for the same time period in which the injuries occurred. For example, if you had 2 injuries in a quarter and 50,000 hours worked, then the calculation would be:
2 x 200,000 / 50,000 = 8.0 injury/illness rate.

ISO 14001
An international standard issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) relating to Environmental Management Systems. You can read about our ISO 14001 registration efforts here.

Kilowatt hour
1 kilowatt-hour = 3.6 x 10⁶ joules.
1 kilowatt-hour = 3.6 x 10^-3gigajoules.

Lost Workday Case
Recordable cases involving lost workdays beyond date of injury (more serious injury/illness).

Lost Workday Case Rate
The lost workday case rate provides information on the number of occupational lost workday injury/illness cases multiplied by 200,000 then divided by the hours worked for the same time period in which the injuries occurred. For example, if you had 1 lost workday injury/illness case in a quarter and 50,000 hours worked, then the calculation would be:
1 x 200,000 / 50,000 = 4.0 lost workday case rate.
