Safety Achievements

 

During 2010, Kentz completed over 43 million man-hours across the Group, an increase of 24% from 2009, with a Total Recordable Incident Ratio (TRIR) of 0.17.

Although this is in the top decimal of the industry, our goal is still zero incidents and zero accidents.

We maintain our focus on our near miss reporting and the number of reported near-misses increased by 66%. This programme will continue into 2011.
