Abstract
This paper develops a new statistical approach to monitoring industrial injuries on an operation. It details a sequential procedure which can be used by practitioners to determine if the incidence rate on an operation is “out of control” with respect to an acceptable rate as a function of injury severity and redesign costs. The procedure is based upon the CUSUM test for the exponential distribution. Test implementation, sensitivity, and robustness are also discussed.
