DESCRIPTION
Lhoist operates complex, high-risk industrial sites where both employees and contractors face hazards such as energy isolation, working at heights, vehicle movements, lifting, and confined spaces - many of which are directly related to ‘The Fatal 6’. Despite a significant reduction in the Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) by over 50% in the last 15 years, serious incidents and near misses with high potential severity continued to occur at Lhoist, highlighting the need for further cultural and behavioural change.
The Stay Safe campaign was launched by Lhoist to address these persistent risks by reinforcing basic safety rules and empowering everyone on-site to take responsibility for their own safety and that of others.
