Lost Time Case Rate (LTCR) is a key safety metric that measures the number of workplace injury cases that result in lost time per 100,000 hours worked. It provides a standardized way to assess the frequency of serious workplace injuries that impact productivity.
This metric helps organizations track injury case trends, identify areas for improvement in injury prevention and case management, and benchmark their performance against industry standards.
