What is a Lost Time Accident?
An On-the-job accident which causes a person to be unable to report to work for his or
her next scheduled shift.
What is a Serious Injury?
An on-the-job accident which requires sutures, a work change, a visit to an eye specialist
or involves a fracture.
What is Frequency?
Frequency is the number of Lost Time Accidents per Serious Injuries incurred by em-
ployees for every 1,000,000 man-hours of work.
e.g. The 1972 Frequency for accidents at the Naugatuck location was 21.4 accidents each
1,000,000 man-hours worked.
Lost Time Accidents (1) + Serious Injuries (62) x 1,000,000 = 25,000,000
3,404,462 man-hours
= 21.4 accidents per 1,000,000 man-hours worked.
It takes approximately 4 months to accumulate 1,000,000 man-hours.
