Increase safety performance
Total recordable injury rate (per million hours worked)
The unique concept underlying the management system is that safety performance at the workplace can be increased without the need for manual guidance from Managers. Employees are automatically informed and reminded of training courses that require completion and can easily access information from the platform at any time. This way, Managers can be 100% sure that all employees, regardless of location or device, are up-to-date. Total recordable injury rate by company & contractor (2010–2019) 2.0
