Record-breaking safety performance by Neste Jacobs

Neste Jacobs has achieved a record safety performance, a full year without a single accident. This meets the company's Total Recordable Injury Frequency (TRIF*) target of zero and covers Neste Jacobs' own staff, as well as contractors and sub-contractors. The milestone was reached on March 18, and the total number of hours without an accident was 1.6 million. Neste Jacobs' own personnel worked almost 500 days without an accident.

The Total Recordable Injury Frequency (TRIF*) at Neste Jacobs last year fell to a quarter of what it had been in 2009. Compared to average safety figures for Finnish industry and construction, Neste Jacobs' safety performance is in a class of its own. Neste Jacobs' projects are particularly demanding, and mainly cover engineering and construction in the oil refining, petrochemical, and chemical industries.

"We are committed to long-term safety work, and this is clearly bearing fruit," says Jarmo Suominen,  Neste Jacobs' Managing Director. "Maintaining and developing an excellent safety culture and using zero accidents as our key performance indicator has been and will be our priority. Collaboration and developing safety together with our partners, customers, and contractors is very important to us. Continuous training and prioritizing safety in all aspects of our operations, together with monitoring performance, are very much part of our day-to-day work. Our goal is to ensure that our personnel and our partners have a safe working environment at all times. Safety is integral to everything we do."

Neste Jacobs offers its safety concept as part of its project services, either as part of deliveries or as a stand-alone service, to its industrial and contracting customers.

*Neste Jacobs uses Total Recordable Injury Frequency (TRIF) per million hours worked as its safety performance indicator. This covers all incidents requiring medical care and both the company's own personnel and personnel employed by its contractors.
