lost time injury (lti) is a work-related injury or sickness that results someone is unable to work on a subsequent scheduled work day or shift.

example: an employee is injured on the occupation on wednesday. He was scheduled to work on thursday and friday on regular time and saturday on overtime. He was instructed to stay off work until monday, and did so. This is a lost time injury. The employee missed three scheduled days of work (thursday, friday, and saturday) and all three days are counted as lost workdays for this case.

restricted work case (rwc) is a work-related injury or sickness that results in conditions and restrictions on work energy and action that prevent someone from doing any task of his/her normal occupation of from doing all of the occupation for any share of the day.

example: an employee’s normal occupation requires repetitive lifting and other manual labor duties. He is injured and is restricted to lifting no more than 5 kilogram. A great deal of items normally lifted in his occupation exceed this limit. The employee is temporarily assigned to another section because work in this area does not involve lifting. Another employee is assigned to do the injured employee’s occupation. This is a restricted work case because the employee was transposed to another occupation.

example: an employee has a lacerated arm after coming in contact with sharp edge. The plant nurse applies steri-strips to the wound. This case is recordable because application of steri-strips as a wound closure is considered medical tone and treatment by definition.
