What is LTIFR?

Lost-Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) is a key safety metric that measures the number of lost-time injuries per 1,000,000 hours worked.

It helps organizations track safety performance, identify trends, and benchmark against industry standards.

LTIFR Formula

LTIFR =
(Number of Lost-Time Injuries × 1,000,000)
Total Hours Worked
