At Impol Slovenska Bistrica, we made progress in the field of occupational health and safety in 2024. The number of work accidents decreased by 18% compared to 2023, with a total of 28 accidents recorded. This achievement confirms our commitment to creating a safer working environment and continuously improving working conditions for all employees.
Our Accident Frequency Ratio (AFR), which represents the number of accidents per 200,000 working hours, decreased from 23.9 (2023) to 19.7 in 2024. For comparison, the average for the Slovenian economy for manufacturing (SKD C) was 22.7 in 2023. In 2023, we were slightly above the industry average, but through systematic measures in 2024, we achieved significant progress, which places us among the more successful companies in this industry.
The results of our efforts are also visible in raising employee awareness of the importance of safety at work. The number of reported incidents (near misses), which are key to accident prevention, increased by 9%. A total of 622 incidents were reported in 2024, indicating greater employee engagement and a culture of proactive reporting.
