    In order to promote the prevention of global occupational accidents and injuries, a new standard for calculating the frequency rate was established in fiscal 2021.
    Eisai Group Lost-time injury frequency rate (per million hours worked) = Number of casualties resulting from occupational and traffic accidents (absence of 1 day or more) ÷ Total working hours × 1,000,000
    According to the 2021 Survey of Occupational Accident Trends conducted by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Lost-time injury frequency rate for the manufacturing industry was 1.31. The number of occupational illnesses was also counted in the number of occupational and traffic accidents, so it was removed from the table in fiscal 2022.
