Lost-Time Accident refers to accidents that will prevent the injured from reporting to work on the working day following the day of injury and thereafter. Which term is this?

• A. Lost-Time Accident
• B. Imminent Danger
• C. Leachants
• D. Inhabited Building

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is how injuries are categorized by how much time a worker is unable to be at work. A Lost-Time Accident is an injury that prevents the worker from reporting to work on the next scheduled workday after the injury, and it continues to affect them beyond that day. That fits the description precisely, because the defining feature is the time lost from work due to the injury.

Imminent Danger refers to a hazardous situation that could cause harm immediately, not to injuries or time off work. Leachants are substances used in extraction processes and aren’t about injury time. Inhabited Building relates to whether a building is occupied, not injury classification.

So the term that matches the described scenario is Lost-Time Accident.
