9.6 OSHA Lost Time Rate

Updated on

The primary purpose of measuring safety performance is to provide information on the progress and current status of the strategies, processes and activities used by an organization to control risks to health and safety.

OSHA Lost Time Injury: Recordable injury in which an employee is not able to return to work or is assigned restricted work on the day or shift following the incident.

The OSHA Lost Time Rate is computed from the following formula:

The formula represents an equivalent to the number of lost time injuries per 100 employees working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year, and provides the standard base for the incidence rates.

The Trend Chart displays the Lost Time rate and the Lost Time count by month for the past 13 months.

The standard Pareto chart is the OSHA Lost Time incidents year to date by Incident type and Body Location.

This standard chart will also have a section for action items. This section will identify the actions, owners, and due dates for action plans that will be executed to improve performance. The Site Manager should coordinate the development of the action item section and is ultimately responsible for the completion, quality, and conformance to the action items identified.
