Key indicators

To determine the level of industrial injuries, PJSC ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih uses an objective indicator - the accident frequency rate (Fr). The indicator is used to measure the level of undustrial injuries and track the evulolution of accidents at the plant over a certain period of time. This is a more correct approach compared to the use of absolute injury rates (number of injuries), since each industrial company has its own characteristics that affect the injury rate in a comparative analysis: the number of employees, the complexity of production processes, the level of equipment wear, etc.

According to the results of 2021, plants of ArcelorMittal in Ukraine (ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, Nikmet Terminal, ArcelorMittal Beryslav, contractors) rank 7th among 13 countries where ArcelorMittal operates in terms of industrial injury frequency rate (for comparison, the countries selected have the largest number of man-hours worked – more than 16 million).

The industrial injury rate per 1 million man-hours worked in 2021 made 0.84.

At the same time, industrial injury rate per 1,000 employees with own staff in 2021 was 1.98. The number of such accidents was 37 (compared to 26 in 2020).

The progam "Journey to Zero" remains a top priority for ArcelorMittal plants around the world. The main goal of this project is to reduce the number of accidents at work to zero.

During 2021, 48 accidents with loss of working days were registered at the production facilities of the plant (own personnel and employees of contractors), of which 3 were fatal (two were employees of PJSC ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih and one was an employee of a contractor) .

Most of the injuries occurred for organizational reasons - due to non-compliance with the requirements of H&S instructions by employees.

Most injuries occurred for organizational reasons - due to failure to comply with the requirements of industrial safety instructions by workers.
