"17% year-over-year decrease in our lost time injury rate"
A lost time injury rate (LTIR) is an occupational safety metric that measures how often workplace injuries occur that cause an employee to miss one or more full workdays. It is calculated by dividing the number of such lost-time injury cases over a period by the total hours worked by all employees in that period and then multiplying by a standard normalization factor (commonly 200,000 hours, which equals 100 full‑time workers working 40 hours a week for 50 weeks) or expressed per 100 employees; different organizations may use different bases, so comparisons require the same normalization. The rate excludes injuries that require only first aid or medical treatment without time away and is used to track and compare workplace safety performance over time or between groups.
