Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Lost Time Injury (LTI) Frequency Rate?
The Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) measures how often workplace injuries result in employees taking time away from work. It is one of the most widely used workplace safety metrics, helping organisations monitor performance and benchmark against industry averages.
Why should my business calculate its LTIFR?
Tracking your LTIFR helps you understand safety trends, identify areas of risk, measure the effectiveness of your health and safety initiatives, and compare your performance against industry benchmarks. It also supports continuous improvement and informed decision-making.
What counts as a LTI?
A Lost Time Injury is a workplace injury or illness that prevents an employee from returning to their next scheduled shift or requires them to take time away from work. Reporting requirements may vary depending on your jurisdiction and internal policies.
How often should I review my LTIFR?
Most organisations calculate their LTIFR monthly, quarterly, and annually to monitor trends over time. Regular reviews make it easier to identify emerging risks early and evaluate whether workplace health and safety initiatives are delivering results.
Is a lower LTIFR always better?
Generally, yes; a lower LTIFR indicates fewer injuries resulting in lost work time. However, the most meaningful insights come from analysing trends over time and comparing your results with businesses in the same industry. LTIFR should also be considered alongside other health and safety indicators to gain a complete picture of workplace performance.
How does my LTIFR compare to the Australian average?
Comparing your Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) with national industry data can help you understand how your organisation is performing relative to similar businesses. While every workplace is different, benchmarking your results can highlight opportunities to strengthen your health and safety strategy.
