Can someone point me in the right direction, please.
What does Total Reportable Injury Rate/Frequency really mean. Which and which KPI makes this up. Is it Nearmisses, MTC, FAC, Damages, LTI etc???. This needs clarifying for stats purposes.
Also, How many days makes up a LTI. I am familiar with a day off shift but RIDDOR says 3 days off normal shift.
Thanks for quick response

Emmanuel,
The terms typically are TRIR ("Total Recordable Injury Rate") and LTIR ("Lost Time Ijury Rate")
TRIR is used by companies that have adopted the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA-USA) "standard" for accident and illness reporting.
TRIR is is the measures of number of employees with work-related illnesses and injuries per 200,000 work hours annually.
In UK, our "reporting" to enforcement authorities is under RIDDOR--which is different from the OSHA requirements. Therefore. when comparing any injury or illness "RATES", it is essential to ensure what the comparision is about.

OSHA have two accepted rates (if this is what your original queries relate to):
TCIR - Total Recordable Case Incidence Rate & DART - Days Away From Work Rate (yes I know acronyms do not match the phrase).
Beware that if you are obliged to report these 2 rates (for US parent company) - then the OSHA definition of recordable case injury & days away from work are different from UK / RIDDOR requirements.
Recordable cases tend to be any medical treatment (Above first aid case) - so a cut requiring one stitch or glueing is counted as recordable !!
Days Away from Work cases count the first full day away from work as a threshold - not 3day+ as in UK. Also they would not count normal non-working days in the total days lost (exlude non-workgn weekend days)
OSHA claim to have higher reporting than UK / Europe for calcuating their rates - but as part of the VPP (Ireland) pilot group, I can tell you that their accidents are underreported by at least 50% as well (European including UK rates are even lower)

Posted By Emmanuel Hi Jay/Evans I am well pleased with respective useful clarifications and responses. Can you send me more text or material on TRIR/TRCIR relating to the UK? Does LTI & Fatality counted for this too? My e-mail address is emma4safety@yahoo.co.uk. I kindly await your action, please Regards Emmanuel

Colleagues
Under which case is the TRI calculated per a million manhour as done by most organisations. The reason i am asking is that most employers calculates per 200,000 M/hrs.
Please educate
