February 2021 Safety Update

Key Performance Indicators (KPI) are trending in the right direction, plus four Poka Yokes and 4 Near Miss Reports to review.

January 2021 Safety data is in, and although we’ve recorded 2 more injuries when compared to January 2020, our Key Performance Indicators (KPI) are all trending in the right direction and show that the efforts we’re making each day have a long-lasting effect on our overall scores.

Key Performance Indicators, the measurable values we use to evaluate our progress toward meeting our Safety objectives, showed improvement in all three categories – OSHA recordable injuries, Other Case Incident Rate (OCIR) injury events and Days Away, Restricted or Transferred (DART) injury events.

• OSHA recordable injuries decreased 51%, from 96 in 2020 to 47 in 2021
• OCIR decreased 38.9%, from 36 in 2020 to 22 in 2021
• DART decreased 58.3%, from 60 in 2020 to 25 in 2021
  
  

Our Action Stainless & Alloys divisions are now part of the monthly safety data. Let’s give a great big WELCOME to these Action Stainless & Alloys divisions:

• Action Stainless & Alloys – Dallas, TX
• Action Stainless & Alloys – Houston, TX
• Action Stainless & Alloys – Springdale, AR
• Action Stainless & Alloys – Rock Hill, SC
• Action Stainless & Alloys – Riverside, MO

As we begin to wrap-up the first quarter of the year, continue to stay disciplined by remaining aware of your surroundings at all times and following all safety guidelines. These rules are established to reduce our risk of injury, and to keep all employees safe.

And, keep identifying ways we can be work safer and smarter by submitting Near Miss Reports to your local Safety professional. Then, share your improvement ideas with the entire organization by submitting Poka Yokes to Tony Dominic, Director – Safety, Health & Environment, at Tony.Dominic@olysteel.com.
