Safety related data (G4-LA6)
In 2015 61% of all Bekaert employees were covered by the OHSAS 18001 standard.
Of the on average 27 hours of training per employee, 7 hours were safety related.
Repeatability Index = Number of lost time accidents (LTA) per million worked hours.
Severity Index = Number of lost days due to occupational accidents per thousand worked hours.
Combined numbers include the results of the Bekaert consolidated plants and those of joint-ventures and associated companies.
In 2015 both the repeatability and severity index increased compared to 2014. This was a result of footprint changes such as the acquisition/consolidation of entities where safety performance is subject to improvement as part of their integration process within the Bekaert Group, a trend we see as of mid-2015.
