What do we call the time when production halts due to incidents?

The term used to describe the time when production stops due to incidents is often referred to as Lost Production Time. This concept specifically highlights the productivity losses that occur when operations come to a standstill due to unforeseen events, such as equipment failure, accidents, or any other disruptions. A focus on Lost Production Time allows organizations to measure and analyze the impacts of interruptions on their overall efficiency and output, enabling them to implement better safety and operational measures to minimize these occurrences in the future.

Understanding this concept is essential for effective health and safety management because it directly ties to the operational health of a business and its ability to maintain consistent productivity levels while ensuring a safe working environment.
