We have been consistently better than target on contractor injuiries and with continued effort have reduced those to “0” in April 2019.
Since June 2018, there have been 165 accidents that have led to contractor employee injuries. The top injuries sustained continue to be attributed to struck against/struck by, and slip, trip and fall.
