Understanding How the System Determines Safety Hours

Safety hours are the number of hours that employees were available to work and have worked and hence, were exposed to risk. Safety hours exclude time for vacation, sick or medical leave, or other leave time.

The following programs use safety hours:

  • OSHA Form 300A - Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses (R54HS300A)

  • Bureau of Labor Statistics Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses Form (R54HS320)

  • One View Safety Statistics Inquiry (P54HS260)

In each of these programs, you can choose whether to retrieve safety hours from the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Payroll tables or from the Health and Safety Incident Management Safety Hours table (F54HS20). You can also choose to use the Safety Hours table as an override to any payroll table information.The OSHA and BLS reports only use establishment for calculating safety hours. The OSHA and BLS reports only use establishment for calculating safety hours. Only the One View Safety Statistics Inquiry program can use Company, Project, Business Unit, and Contractor.
