Health and Safety
When the Health and Safety (H&S) indicator was defined in
2008 the common H&S measure was reportable injuries. This
emphasis, and consequently our indicator, has revolved to Lost Time
Injuries (LTIs) with the ultimate objective of 'Zero Harm'. In
order to maintain continuity, both indicators are shown below.
Performance indicator
Reportable injuries per 100,000 direct employees per
annum
Lost Time Injuries (LTIs) for direct employees per
1,000,000 hours worked
The collection of LTI data is in the early stages. Data from the
precast sector was included in 2010, but was not available in 2009.
Consequently the increase observed in concrete data sets in 2010 is
caused by this change in baseline data. This increase does not
reflect a decrease in performance, as corroborated by the original
H&S indicator.
Further information on the health and
safety indicator can be found in the full
report.
