Question 2 (20 marks)

Lost Time Injury Rate (LTIR) means any injury sustained on the job, such as fatality, permanent disability or time lost from work. It could be as little as one day or shift. The LTIR is calculated as below:

LTIR= Number of injuries in accounting period 106Number of hours worked in accounting period

An oil & gas company in a year had three people injured at work. One was hospitalised for a week and the other two were away for a full day. The company has 400 employees with an average working time of 5 hours per day and 300 days per year.

(1) Please calculate the LTIR value in this company? (5 marks)

(2) If the industrial standard requires the LTIR value to be lower than 3.0, please evaluate whether the company meets the requirement (3 marks). If not, assuming you are the safety engineer in this company, please brief at least TWO systematic methods for risk mitigation, so that the LTIR can be reduced (12 marks).
