Our employees are required to report every accident using a unique tool (also available as a smartphone app) that allows them to document and categorize an incident, down to the smallest details. This helps us to recognize and reward positive behavior or to proactively identify unsafe situations before an accident even happens.”
We also look at the Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) to measure all the data and determine the right action. TRIR, which has now become the global standard, allows us to discover patterns across multiple worksites, bringing further transparency into our safety performance. This replaces the previous standard of measuring the Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate, which focuses more on lost work time and less on the current well-being of the workers involved.
We want our employees to be aware and alert, but we realize we can’t change safety culture with the snap of a finger. Instead, safety starts at the top and extends to every level – and our Siemens Energy leaders not only set the right example, but encourage employee-led initiatives and collaborations with global and regional partners to keep us all safe.
