A lost time injury or disease (LTI):

Is a work-related injury or disease that has caused a worker to be absent from h

is or her regular work following the day that the injury or awareness of the dis
ease occurred.
To calculate the lost time Injury Frequency (LTIF):
1. Sum all the lost time accidents cases that you have during that period you wa
nt to calculate the LTIF if the you are preparing a monthly report you have to g
et the total man hours worked for that month(exposure hours) & if you are prepar
ing 1 year report ( through out 2011 for example) the man hours will be the tota
l of LTI through that year & the total man hours through that year for example i
f your = 6 LTI cases in March 2011 & your man hours is 765,462 man hours
2. use this formula:
LTI Freq. Rate = Total LTI X 1,000,000 / Total Man hours
LTI Freq. Rate = Total LTI (6) X 1,000,000 / Total Man hours (765,462) = 7.8
( LTIF)
3. TRCF :Total Recordable Cases Frequency
TRCF = Number of LTI + MTC + RWC X 1,000,000 / Man hours for the month
(LTI) Lost Time Injuries
(MTC) Medical Treatment Cases
(RWC) Restricted Work Cases
