During 2021, total working hours of ICL employees reached approximately 19.5 million. The total number of accidents decreased by 3.5% in 2021 compared to 2020. RTO (Right to Operate index) is an indicator that ICL has developed in order to measure environmental non-compliance.
Calculations of IR (Injury Rate) and SI (Severity Index) rates are conducted based on a 200,000 factor, multiplied by total lost employee workdays and absent days. The SI methodology is based on an assumption that the number of absent days correlates with the severity of the safety event.
