Cases which result in days away from work (beyond the day of injury or onset of illness). The number of days away from work for these cases is determined according to the number of calendar days (not workdays) that an employee was unable to work, even if the employee was not scheduled to work those days. The day on which the employee was injured or became ill is not counted. These cases may also include days of job transfer or restricted work activity in addition to days away from work. It indicates the frequency of injuries and illnesses that resulted in days away from work. Details regarding recordability of nonfatal work-related injuries and illnesses can be found here: https://www.osha.gov/recordkeeping/entry-faq. DAFW cases can also be expressed as a rate. The incident rate calculation is: (N/EH) x 200,000, where N = number of injuries and illnesses; EH = total hours worked by all employees during the calendar year; and 200,000 = base for 100 equivalent full-time workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year). When the rate reflects a base of 10,000 equivalent full-time workers, 20,000,000 is used instead of 200,000.
