Since I joined the company that have high concern about safety issues, I began to be introduced with several safety health, safety and environtment (HSE)abbreviations. Today, I found out from our internal procedures that answer my curiosity and share it with you.

ALARP: As low as reasonably practicable
Reasonably practicable indicates that the effort or expenditure to mitigate the risk is justified by the potential return or reward.

CSI: Cost Severity Index
The metric indicates overall HSE perfomance and includes all reportable incidents in the calculation. The formula used for the calculation is:

FAC: First Aid Case
A work related injury or illness resulting in first aid treatment. This is considered not a recordable injury.

FAT: Fatality

HAZID: A Hazard identification assesment
A technique for analysis for potential hazards and quantification of the risks associated with a planned project, the risk of loss to personnel, operations, the environment, or company reputation from these hazards, and the identification of controls that will be used to mitigate the risk to ALARP.

IDLH: Immediate dangerous to life and health
Conditions that pose an immediate threat to life or health or conditions that pose an immediate threat or severe exposure to contaminants, such as radioactive materials, which are likely to have cumulative or delayed effects on health.

KPI: Key Perfomance Indicators
Indicators used to provide measurements of the defined priority and key success factors of a project or system.

LTI: Lost Time Incident
An incident resulting in days away from work.

LTIR: Lost Time Incident Rate
(LTI / Manhours x 200,000)

MTC: Medical Treatment Case
A recordable work related injury or illness resulting in medical treatment.

RWC: Restricted Work Case
A recordable work related injury or illness resulting in restricted work days.

TIFR: Total Incident Frequency Rate
(FAC+MTC+RWC+LTI)/Manhours x 200,000.

TRIR: Total Recordable Incident Frequency Rate
(MTC+RWC+LTI)/Manhours x 200,000
