Lost Time Accident: ITC defines Lost Time Accident as one in which the injured is not able to come to work in the next scheduled shift. This is more stringent than a ‘Reportable Accident’ of Indian Factories’ Act where the injured person is unable to resume duty within 48 hours after the accident.

A team of managers investigates each Lost Time Accident/Incident and action is taken to prevent recurrence.
