NOTE 2 - If an injury causes intermittent loss of time, it should only be included in the frequency rate once, that is, when the first loss of time occurs. NOTE 3 - Since frequency rate & is based on the lost time injuriestreportable to the statutory authorities, it may be used for official purposes only. In all other cases, frequency rate FA should be used for comparison purposes.
