An Operational Statistical Analysis of United States Marine Corps Civilian Employee Injury Tracking Process and Injury Data

Abstract

Organizations within the Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Labor (DoL) report safety metrics that quantify DoD civilian employee injury incident rates and lost work time for all military services. Based on these metrics, the United States Marine Corps (USMC) is experiencing high injury rates and lost work time in relation to adjacent services. This thesis recommends process improvements for tracking injuries and handling data, as well as a time series prediction methodology for investigating the causes of injuries (e.g., slips trips and falls, manual handling of equipment) and the types of injuries (e.g., back conditions, burns, bruises) that may assist the USMC in focusing its safety plans and efforts and reducing civilian employee injury rates.
