Safety and occupational health performance

TRIR - employees		Benchmarked TRIR

Safety and occupational health performance is expressed as the Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR). AECI benchmarks itself against an appropriate grouping of international companies and remains of the opinion that, while zero incidents must be the ultimate target, the interim maximum tolerable level should remain at 1,0 for 2009.

The benchmarked TRIR graph presented here has been compiled by an independent consultant from the latest information available from the various companies’ websites at the time of writing. Due to minor variations in reporting formats, the rate was recalculated in certain cases to provide results uniform with the USA’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration system of reporting.

AEL’s employee incident rate increased marginally from 2007’s 0,59 to 0,75, and Property’s rose from 2007’s 1,13 to 1,45. Commendable improvements in incident rates were achieved at Chemserve and SANS. In 2007, these companies’ rates were at 1,64 and 1,63 respectively and, in 2008, they declined to 1,00 and 0,44.
