On this episode of Safety moment with walieyullah, we used simple analysis to give the difference between LTIFR AND LTISR.

These are important safety data that you used to calculate trends and pattern on safety key performance

LTIFR refers to Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate, the number of lost time injuriesoccurring in a workplace per 1 million hours worked. An LTIFR of 7, for example, shows that 7 lost time injuries occur on a jobsite every 1 million hours worked. The formula gives a picture of how safe a workplace is for its workers.

Lost time injuries (LTI) include all on-the-job injuries that require a person to stay away from work more than 24 hours, or which result in death or permanent disability. This definition comes from the Australian standard 1885.1– 1990 Workplace Injury and Disease Recording Standard.[1][2]

A disabling injury is denoted by severity; in that it directly impacts the ability of an employee to perform their normal work tasks, whereas a lost time injury simply means work time was lost due to an injury.

Minor injuries often cause lost work time. These injuries might include foreign object(s) in an eye (even common dust), minor lacerations, sprained fingers or ankles, etc.. Injuries may be quite minor or, on the opposite end, might be severe, but if work time was lost for the individual because of a work related injury, by definition it is a lost time injury.

In contrast, a disabling injury is denoted by severity and duration of time away from work. Due to the injury the employee is unable to perform necessary work tasks that they were able to perform prior to the injury. The disabling injury may be temporary, such as a broken arm, or permanent such as the loss of a hand.
