Contractor employees at the site

North Carolina combines contractor and temporary worker data with your own. Count all temporary workers in your own numbers above. Below, include each contractor whose employees worked 500 or more hours at the site in any calendar quarter. Leave out contract workers you already counted above, and leave out separate entity contractors, which North Carolina excludes from the site rate.

About the optional earliest year

A site can use its best three of the last four years if two recordable cases in its most recent year would give it a TCIR equal to or higher than the BLS rate for its industry in at least one of the three most recently published years. OSHA says this mainly helps sites with fewer than 250 employees, but the test, not the headcount, decides (CSP 03-01-005, Appendix A §VII; Ch. 5 §IV.A.1.b).
