1 Total Recordable Rate (TRR) – an internationally recognised metric of a company’s rate of workplace accidents calculated as follows: (number of workplace accidents involving employees and contractors that result in days lost in a reference period / number of man-hours worked by employees and contractors in the same period) x 1,000,000.
2 Tier 1 Process Safety Events Rate (T1 PSER) – number of process safety events according to API 754 (number of events of greater consequence related to substance release into the environment / number of man-hours) x 1,000,000.
* In 2021, ORLEN Transport and Poland Press Grupa did not report on all data components of the Combined TRR, i.e. they did not report on data relating to contractors, therefore the Combined TRR for the ORLEN Group inclusive of the ORLEN Transport and Poland Press Grupa data will be reported for 2022. In 2021, TRR for employees3 included data concerning employees of ORLEN Transport Sp. z o.o. and Poland Press Grupa.

In 2021, the ORLEN Group recorded two collective accidents at work involving contractors (PKN ORLEN), while in 2020 there were none.

In 2021, a special Technical Team was appointed to investigate one of the accidents; it was tasked with identifying all possible causes of the accident and recommending appropriate corrective measures. The corrective measures included the development and implementation of a technical standard ‘Discharging the contents of apparatus with the use of vacuum equipment’.

Ensuring work safety and health protection for employees of contractors performing work on the ORLEN Group premises is one of the strategic priorities of the ORLEN Group. In order to continuously enhance their safety we have taken a consistent, long-term approach to raising their awareness of the importance of proper risk assessment, potential hazards, risk mitigation methods, OHS rules and procedures, proper use of protective systems and equipment, and the need to report potentially dangerous situations. Apart from investigating accidents at work involving contractors, the ORLEN Group also analyses the data on sick leaves resulting from accidents at work suffered by contractors working on the premises of Group companies. However, the Group is not legally authorised to publish such data.

11)Number of acknowledged occupational disease cases is the number of decisions issued by the State Sanitary Inspector to confirm recognition of an occupational disease of a current or former employee of an ORLEN Group company.

 

Cases of occupational diseases recorded in 2020 were attributable to factors associated with lifting and carrying of loads, noise, and work involving exposure to hazardous materials; these factors contributed to: a spinal disease, hearing injury, and respiratory disease. In 2021, the factors included noise, lifting and carrying loads, mechanical vibration, forced body position during work, causing workers to suffer from: spinal disease, carpal tunnel syndrome, and hearing impairment.

The ORLEN Group does not report on the incidence of occupational diseases in contractors’ employees due to the absence of tools or legal regulations that would enable it to obligate third parties to report such data. This is also the case with obtaining information on third party and ORLEN Group employee deaths from occupational diseases.

Workers with high incidence or high risk of occupational diseases

The ORLEN Group constantly monitors and identifies factors that may cause occupational diseases among its employees. Work environment surveys are performed on a regular basis and their results are analysed to assess the risk of potential impact on the employees’ health. With respect to all factors identified for jobs with a high risk of occupational disease, systemic preventive measures have been implemented in the form of technical and organisational solutions offering personal and collective protection. The use of such solutions eliminates the risk of employees developing occupational diseases as a result of harmful factors in their work environment. Consequently, the number of ORLEN Group employees suffering from occupational diseases in 2020–2021 was stable.
