Some of the many reasons to use these measuring sticks are to gauge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Relative performance over time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 The feedback loop between action and results is especially important for leaders so they understand the true state of things. It also helps them to communicate effectively across the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Relative performance vs. peers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 This helps benchmark performance vs.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/iif\/oshsum.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">industry averages<\/a>\u00a0and peer groups to know where they rank.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Absolute performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 If your TRIF rate is 2.0, then approximately two colleagues are hurt every year per hundred employees; this helps frame the context around what your organization experiences in<br>the production of it\u2019s products\/services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is TRIF?

Because 100 workers working a 40-hour work week each year, is equal to roughly 200,000 hours. This tells you how many workers would get injured for every 100 employees worth of full-time hours worked. So, a TRIF of 4 means that if you theoretically had exactly 100 workers on a site working a 40-hour work week, you would have seen four recordable injuries in the year. This is probably the easiest way to think about it because it\u2019s per 100 employees and easy to visualize.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you wanted to do a quarterly TRIF, as some work sites do, you would take the injuries in any given quarter and replace 200,000 with 50,000 and the approximate number of hours worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pros:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-checkmark-list-orange\">\n<li>It\u2019s simple because you only need two pieces of data: number of incidents and hours worked.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Cons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-checkmark-list-orange\">\n<li>Difficult for smaller companies because they may not have enough hours worked to create a TRIF with appropriate volatility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Injuries and hours are all weighed equally in terms of risk.&nbsp; Some companies will separate TRIF by divisions or types of work to better assess relative performance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:3vw\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">LTIFR: Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:3vw\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"Pegasus__Container w-full   relative h-fit overflow-hidden text-content-dark mobile-stacking-standard is-layout-flow wp-block-pegasus-container-is-layout-flow\" style=\"   border-radius:12px;\" >\n\t        \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t        \t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"relative h-full is-flex-layout flex flex-col justify-start  w-full\">\n<section x-data=\"PegasusMediaBlock\"\n         x-intersect.threshold.25=\"onIntersect\"\n         class=\"Media relative mask-  align  \" \n         style=\"min-height: ; \">\n                                    <picture ><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecoonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1970\/01\/LTIRF_Formula.webp 414w, https:\/\/www.ecoonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1970\/01\/LTIRF_Formula-300x142.webp 300w\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1970\/01\/LTIRF_Formula.webp\" width=\"414\" height=\"196\" class=\"image-original \" alt=\"LTIRF Formula\" loading=\"lazy\"  \/><\/picture>\n\n        \n            <\/section>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t        <\/section>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:3vw\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The key difference is LTIFR is calibrated to one million hours.

Using EcoOnline&#8217;s software, many of our customers track positive recognition by supervisor and number of time, reviewing them for recurring trends and<br>themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Leading Indicators are Even More Valuable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider what&nbsp;leading indicators&nbsp;best show where your organization is going instead of where it\u2019s been. Depending on your organization\u2019s safety maturity, you can get creative with indicators of risk BEFORE a negative event occurs and quantify this to measure over time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"Pegasus__Container w-full   relative h-fit  text-content-dark mobile-stacking-standard is-layout-flow wp-block-pegasus-container-is-layout-flow\" style=\"   \" >\n\t        \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t        \t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"relative h-full is-flex-layout flex flex-col justify-start  w-full\">\n\n<!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\" id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-79fd79ba-98b8-484c-aad3-9fe05e454159\"><span class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-79fd79ba-98b8-484c-aad3-9fe05e454159\" id=\"hs-cta-79fd79ba-98b8-484c-aad3-9fe05e454159\"><!--[if lte IE 8]><div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div><![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/hubspot-cta-redirect-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/cta\/redirect\/144606870\/79fd79ba-98b8-484c-aad3-9fe05e454159\" ><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" id=\"hs-cta-img-79fd79ba-98b8-484c-aad3-9fe05e454159\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/cta\/default\/144606870\/79fd79ba-98b8-484c-aad3-9fe05e454159.png\"  alt=\"New call-to-action\"\/><\/a><\/span><script charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/js-eu1.hscta.net\/cta\/current.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> hbspt.cta.load(144606870, '79fd79ba-98b8-484c-aad3-9fe05e454159', {\"useNewLoader\":\"true\",\"region\":\"eu1\"}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code -->\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t        <\/section>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t        <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Calculating your lost time injury frequency rates is essential to assessing your organization\u2019s safety performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"category":[283],"tags":[],"item-type":[210],"class_list":["post-83050","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-health-safety-en-us","item-type-article-en-us"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Track Injury Frequency Rates for Safety Success | EcoOnline US<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Learn how to calculate lost time injury rates and use this key metric to improve workplace safety.
