What is Lost Time Injury?

 

A lost time injury (or lost time accident) is any work related injury or illness which prevents that person from doing any work day after accident. Lost time injuries are defined as occupational accidents that resulted in time lost from work of one day/shift or permanent disability or a fatality. The number of lost time injuries is used to calculate the lost time injury frequency rate (or accident frequency rate).
