Current performance compared to previous years
In 2022, zero fatal accidents were recorded and Lenzing’s Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR)1 met the current target, with a reduction for employees from 0.8 in 2021 to 0.6. In addition, the TRIFR for contractors decreased from 0.8 in 2021 to 0.4 in 2022. The employee rate for all work-related injuries rose from 3.0 in 2021 to 3.3 in 2022, while the rate for contractors decreased from 1.6 in 2021 to 1.1 in 2022.
High-consequence work-related injury
