| 1 | We also recorded non-occupational fatalities at our mines during 2017 and 2018 |
| 2 | Since 2019, we have applied Gold Fields' definition in classifying serious injuries. In terms of this definition, a serious injury is one that incurs 14 days or more of work lost and results in one of a range of injuries detailed at www.goldfields.com/safety.php |
| 3 | LTI is a work-related injury resulting in the employee or contractor being unable to attend work for one or more days after the day of the injury. The employee or contractor is unable to perform any of his/her duties. LTIFR is per million hours worked |
| 4 | TRIFR = (fatalities + LTIs + restricted work injuries + medically treated injuries) x 1,000,000/number of hours worked |
| 5 | Severity rate = days lost to LTIs/hours worked x 1,000,000 |
In celebration of World Health Day, our team in Ghana put together this video of the work we're doing to improve healthcare in communities.
