The landmark follows a record-breaking year for the company, which saw a 23% year-on-year reduction in our Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) in 2020 and a decrease in Lost Time Accidents (LTAs). Last year 10 plants achieved more than 12 months without an LTA.
Our Health and Safety teams have been working to make these successes future proof and our TRIR has decreased by 45% in the past 12 months to end March. In addition, to ensure safety comes first everywhere, almost 23,000 safety actions have been taken in the same period across our manufacturing sites with hazard-spotting tours up 50%, safety observations increasing by 21% and safety dialogues up by 85%.
