SAFETY CULTURE IMPROVEMENT

Company seeks the best way to represent safety status and safety culture improvements in the Company. For this purpose, Total Recordable Case Frequency (TRFC) measure is selected. It is the rate of how many injuries happened in a workplace. It includes all kinds of injuries that require medical treatment. TRFC gives the company a look at the organization's past safety performance by calculating the number of recordable incidents per 100 fulltime workers during a one-year period. The lower the TRFC, the better a company's safety performance appears. Organization can benefit from tracking this metric year-by-year to improve their safety initiatives.

Annual TRCF goal is 0,81. Current value is 0,9.

Implemented some initiatives to improve safety in KN:
