SCA conducts a quarterly Injury and Illness Survey. Blinded data is aggregated to display a representative picture of the industry. That picture, over the past ten years, displays a steady decline in rates. In 2010, SCA’s total recordable incident rate was 5.59, well below the sector at large rate of 7.8.
