Total Recordable Incident Rate
The Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) is a safety metric used to measure the number of work-related injuries and illnesses in a given period. It is calculated by taking the total number of recordable incidents, multiplying it by 200,000, and then dividing by the total hours worked by all employees. This standardization allows for comparisons across different organizations and industries.
TRIR helps organizations assess their safety performance and identify areas for improvement. A lower TRIR indicates a safer workplace, while a higher rate suggests a need for enhanced safety measures. Companies often use this metric to promote a culture of safety among their employees and stakeholders.
