13% improvement in the Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) to 1.4 per million
hours worked and a further 9% improvement in the Medical Treatment Injury

injuries, incidents and illness.
Over 67% of our employees were actively engaged in safety observations.
OneSteel was recently recognised at the Self Insurance of South Australia Awards
in a number of categories.
Programs aimed at increasing employee awareness of
hazards in their environment, encouraging employees to
consider potential risks and reporting potential issues or
incidents.
10th Anniversary of the OneSteel Safety Excellence Awards saw a record number
of nominations from across the business. This program has also resulted in over
$12,000 being donated to charity by the winners of these awards.
OneSteel will continue to promote and reward employees and
contractors for their safety excellence.
• Conduct our business with high
ethical standards in our dealings
with employees, customers,
