Exposure Rate Calculator

How to Use the Calculator

1. Enter the total workforce size (number of employees or individuals in the group being measured)
2. Enter the number of exposed cases (e.g., number of employees who tested positive for a condition, number of employees exposed to a hazard)
3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the exposure rate
4. The result will be displayed as a percentage

Understanding the Formula

The Exposure Rate is calculated using the formula:

Exposure Rate = (Number of Exposed Cases / Workforce Size) × 100%

This formula provides a standardized way to measure how many people in a workforce have been affected by a particular condition or exposure.

Applications

The Exposure Rate Calculator can be used in various fields including:

• Public Health: Tracking disease spread in workplaces or communities
• Safety Management: Measuring workplace incidents or exposures to hazards
• Environmental Science: Assessing pollution exposure in specific areas
• Research: Analyzing trends in exposure rates over time

Example

If a company has 500 employees and 15 of them tested positive for COVID-19, the exposure rate would be:

Exposure Rate = (15 / 500) × 100% = 3%

This indicates that 3% of the workforce has been exposed to the condition.
