To determine the level of occupational injuries PJSC ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih uses an objective indicator – the frequency rate of accidents. This indicator is used to measure the level of occupational injuries and to monitor the dynamics of accidents in the company over a certain period. This approach is more accurate compared with using absolute injury indicators (number of injuries), since each industrial company has its own characteristics that affect injury indicators in comparative analysis: number of employees, the complexities of the production processes, level of equipment wear, etc.

The accident injury rate per 1 million man-hours worked, in 2024, amounted to 0,63.

In addition to that, accident injury rate per 1000 employees, with own personnel, in accordance with Ukrainian laws, based on results of 2024, was 1,44.  The number of such accidents amounted to 19 (compared to 19 in 2023).

The program Journey to Zero remains a primary priority for ArcelorMittal sites around the world. The main aim of this project is to reduce the number of the work-related accidents to zero.

During 2024, 21 LTIs were registered at the company`s production sites (own personnel and employees of contractors), including 2 fatalities (one employee of PJSC ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, and one employee of a contractor).

Most of injuries occurred due to organizational reasons - failure by managers to perform official duties, and failure by workers to comply with Health and Safety regulations.

Most of occupational injuries in 2024 occurred as a result of the following types of incidents:

  • Falls of injured person;
  • Impact of moving, flying, or rotating equipment and parts;
  • Fire;
  • Electric shock.
