A lost time accident is an OSHA recordable incident in which an employee is not able to return to work or is assigned restricted work on the day or shift following the incident.
LOST TIME CASE – Any occupational injury or illness which results in an employee being unable to work a full assigned work shift. (A fatality is not considered a LTC.) Lost time cases result when there are no reasonable circumstances under which the injured employee could return to meaningful work.
Generally, a recordable injury or illness under OSHA is one that requires medical treatment beyond first aid, as well as one that causes death, days away from work, restricted work or transfer to another job, or loss of consciousness.

A lost-time injury is something that results in a fatality, permanent disability or time lost from work. It could be as little as one day or shift. LTIFR refer to the number of lost-time injuries within a given accounting period, relative to the total number of hours worked in that period.
