    Wink Reporting lost time injury frequency rates

    Hi

    Reporting lost time injury frequency rates

    I work in a manufacltorying company of 25 employees with some casual staff from time to time.
    I have calculated out total hours for the year = 32,502
    We had 3 lost time injuries for the year
    Which returns a result of 92.3 per million hours works this seems a high
    Figure is the the best way to present the figures for a small medium business?

    Thanks for reading Guys all advice much appreciated

    Below is details taken from the Australia Standard 'Workplace injury and disease recording standard'. Hope this helps.

    Average Time Lost Rate6.15 The average time lost rate is the average time lost per occurrence of injury/disease. For the purposes of this calculation, an upper limit of 12 months off work should be assigned. This rate provides a measure of the severity of the occurrences being experienced by workplaces over time.
    6.16 The following formula should be applied:
    number of working days lost / number of occurrences in the period

    The 'number of occurrences in the period' is defined in the same way as for the incidence rate.

    6.17 The 'number of working days lost' refers to the total number of working days, irrespective of the number of hours that would normally have been worked each day, that were lost as a result of the injury/disease up to a maximum of 12 months for any individual occurrence. For the purposes of calculating the average time lost rate, occurrences that result in a fatality should be assigned a time lost of 12 months (220 standard working days).

    Lee, LTIFR is not a very accurate way to report on safety. One of the major flaws is that it doesn't capture the seriousness of the injury eg: 1 day off = 1 LTI, 100 days off = 1 LTI.
    If you need to capture figures for reporting look at actual incident numbers including equipment damage, near hits, unsafe acts, unsafe conditions etc. A lot of the time the only difference between a LTI and first aid case is luck. The same can be said for an injury resulting from an incident.

    Regards
