An LTI (Lost Time Injury) is an injury sustained by an employee that leads to loss of productive work in the form of absenteeism or delays. A workplace injury is only considered an LTI if the worker is unable to perform their regular duties, takes time off to recover or is assigned to modified tasks while they heal.
How is LTI calculated?
The formula is as follows: ([Number of lost time injuries in the reporting period] x 1,000,000) / (Total hours worked in the reporting period). And voila! Your company’s LTIFR is 2.4, which means there were 2.4 lost time injuries for every one million man hours worked.
