    1. The safety contest will cover calendar year 2020.

    2. All members with Shops locate in the state of Texas are eligible to participate. Participants will be judged as independent operating units not by company. This may be as a single shop or may be several shops using a floating mechanic fleet. Participants cannot use the same information to enter as a single shop and as a floating fleet.

    3. Each participating unit must submit the total number of actual hours worked, total number of recordable injuries and total number of DOT accidents and vehicle accidents involving mechanics or maintenance employees. Using these statistic and the formula in number five, calculate your incident rate.

    4. Reports are to be submitted annually on forms furnished by the Association.

    5. Recognition will be based on Incident Rate.
      Incident Rate = Total reportable Accidents (*OSHA Standard Recordable Injuries & Vehicular Accidents) x 200,000 divided by total number of actual hours worked.

    6. The Shop group having the lowest Incident Rate in its group for the year will be recognized. Where more than one Shop group within the group has the same Incident Rate, rank will be determined according to the number of actual hours worked. No participant will be recognized with an incident rate higher than the national average per S.I.C code, published by Bureau of Labor Statistics. Any Fatality is a disqualifying event.
