Ultimately, the four-year lookback charts we are presenting here will help the terminal operators understand the developing trends across all three categories. The first chart shown is Total LTI Data From All USMX Ports by Cra Lookback: 2014 Through 2017. This chart indicates the LTI rates among the most common crafts in the ILA workforce: • Lasher • Mechanic • Yard Tractor/Hustler Driver In the past four years there have been 3,304 LTI across all crafts, with the two most often injured crafts being lashers and mechanics. In most years, they account for almost 40% of the total LTIs, and remain the two most dangerous jobs on the waterfront. The JSC continues to work on reducing the number of injuries to lashers and mechanics by visiting different ports and terminals and sitting with local officials to dis- cuss steps that need to be taken. In recent years, there has been a negative trend in the number of hustler or tractor drivers losing time on the job. This craft is now up to 17% of the total LTIs in 2017. Typical ways a tractor driver could be in- jured are jostling in the cab, slipping/tripping or falling from or on the machine and straining a muscle climbing onto the tractor. • Laborer • Holdman/Dockman • PIT Operator/Other • Clerk/Checker • Foreman • Crane/RTG Operator
