In addition to recording LTIs, we also track near-misses. Our ability to monitor and analyse potential severe injuries and fatalities (PSIFs) is key as it provides a deeper understanding of how near-miss incidents arise and can be avoided. Results show that sites with no fatalities proactively detect and manage twice as many PSIFs as sites with one or more. The volume of proactive PSIFs logged at ArcelorMittal Dofasco continues to increase and 103 situations were proactively detected and addressed in 2020, 142 in 2021 and 146 in 2022.
We also work to improve the quality of our analysis and actions, including sharing best practices throughout ArcelorMittal.
Our leadership is held accountable for our safety performance through the Company’s remuneration policy. And safety is the first topic in the appraisal process for every employee, irrespective of where they work.
Our site runs regular safety, health and wellbeing programming and campaigns, which culminate in our Global Health and Safety Day. This annual event includes health and safety activities and opens with a corporate safety video and a message from the chairman and CEO. A global film is produced each year and has been an effective storytelling tool, engaging people emotionally. Our 2021 safety video, 'The commitment', inspired people around our site and around the ArcelorMittal globe to make a commitment to keeping each other safe.
