As we finish the first quarter of the year it is encouraging to see a reduction in our most serious injuries across Europe, with Lost Time Injuries down from 8 to 3, compared to the same period last year, and Total Recordable Injuries down from 21 to 16.

In the UK we have maintained an LTI free start to the year, whereas at this stage last year we had already suffered 2 LTIs.  Unfortunately, we have not seen the same reduction in TRIs where we have reported 6 this year, the same as the first quarter of 2018.

Hopefully we can continue to build on the overall improving trend… we have seen from the high potential incidents we have suffered this year that at times we have been relying on luck to keep us safe, something we cannot afford to do if we are to deliver on our ZERO harm commitment.
