Safety is key
Any work-related injury is clearly unacceptable and
AAK constantly strives to be a zero-injuries workplace.
Since 2009, we have aligned definitions and measured
injuries across the AAK Group. We have defined Lost
Time Injury Rate (LTIR) as the number of work injuries
that result in one or more days of sick leave per 200,000
working hours.
In 2017, AAK had a setback on LTIR and we
decided to launch a Global Safety Program, which
was done in 2018. As a result, LTIR at our production
sites decreased from 0.8 to 0.6, which is a 25 percent
improvement. One third of our production sites did not
have any Lost Time Injuries during 2018. Lost Day Rate
increased from 10.4 to 16.5, unfortunately indicating
that the incidents have been more severe in 2018.
At our sourcing sites in West Africa, conditions and
challenges are very different. For example, the AAK
employees drive many kilometers on motorbikes on
unpaved roads, which increases the risk of accidents.
LTIR increased from 1.2 to 2.9, and Lost Day Rate
increased from 24.3 to 54.1. Safety and first aid training
is ongoing in West Africa to reduce those figures.
Our Global Safety Program is expected to continue
the good progress in 2019, which you can read more
about on page 56.
