Calculate LTIFR, either base.
Lost time injury frequency rate, computed on the 1,000,000 or 200,000 hour base, with the construction benchmark that matches whichever you pick.
LTIFR = (lost-time injuries × base) ÷ hours worked. Most of the world uses a 1,000,000 hour base; the United States usually uses 200,000 (100 full-time workers for a year). The injuries and hours are identical, so the same performance reads 5 times larger on the 1,000,000 base. Always compare on the same base.

The rate is where other software stops. It's where POD starts.
A one-time LTIFR is a rear-view number. POD reads the daily reports your team already produces and keeps your frequency rates live, alongside the leading indicators that predict them, and only from the numbers your data backs.
1M vs 200k
Same injuries, same hours, different multiplier. The 1,000,000 base is the global norm; 200,000 is the US OSHA convention. A number is meaningless without its base.
What's a good rate
On the 1M base, construction runs in the low single digits and top contractors go below 2. On the 200k base that same result reads near 0.9.
Lost-time only
LTIFR counts injuries that cost at least a full day or shift away from work. It is a narrower, more severe subset than total recordables.
We won't invent numbers you didn't give us.

POD turns the reports you already produce into live safety metrics. As complete as your data, and it shows you what to add.
