Industry best safety and environmental performance
Our year’s health, safety and environmental (HSE) performance was industry-leading, with the best results since July 1998 when the organisation began to track HSE statistics. Since our 2021 disclosure, Transgrid’s HSE key performance indicators have improved significantly. Our combined LTIFR has decreased by 57 per cent, from 1.8 down to 0.8. Our combined TRIFR has decreased by 62 per cent, from 7.4 down to 2.8.
In FY22, our proactive hazard reporting increased by 42 per cent, from 2,074 to 2,935, the highest ever reported in the history of Transgrid. The result demonstrates the expanding risk awareness of our people and delivery partners, and our improved culture of reporting.
During the year, Transgrid has implemented a ‘Felt and Visible’ Leadership program to capture the safety conversations our leaders are having with teams and delivery partners in the field. This, in combination with our new ZIP (Zero Incident Process) Leadership program, contributed to our improved safety performance.
In the coming year, we will continue ZIP training with our employees and digitise our HSE Inspection checklists and tools for assurance and reporting, to support our critical risk management framework. We will also continue to enhance our safety culture, ensuring everyone looks out for each other so we all go home safely to our family and loved ones at the end of each day.
