Which publication provides an indirect cost estimator for accidents?

• A. Indirect cost estimator
• B. Direct cost estimator
• C. Safety cost estimator
• D. Accident cost estimator

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that this publication specifically addresses estimating costs that arise indirectly from an accident, such as lost productivity, downtime, supervisory costs, and administrative handling. An indirect cost estimator provides a standardized method to quantify these ripple effects, which is why it’s the best fit for the question. The other options describe estimating different kinds of costs or are not focused on the indirect impact at all: direct cost estimators cover obvious, immediate losses like medical expenses and property damage; a safety cost estimator would address broader safety-related spending; and an accident cost estimator isn’t the term used for the indirect-cost approach. So the publication named Indirect cost estimator is the one that provides the indirect-cost calculation method.
