The Board and management extend their deepest condolences to the family, friends and co-workers of the deceased. The project teams
have been working with the relevant authorities and detailed investigations have been initiated to establish the causes of these tragic
events.
There were no other Class 1 Injuries (C1I) within the Group during 2016.
OTHER INJURIES
The Group records the number of Lost Time Injuries (LTI’s)
23
which are industry-recognised metrics and the Lost Time Injury Frequency
Rate (LTIFR)
24
is used as a lag indicator of injury prevention performance. In 2016, the Group’ LTIFR slightly increased by 0.08 to 1.00 from
0.92.

The Group’s preferred lag measure of injuries is Total Recordable Injuries (TRI)
25
. The Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR)
26
,
which captures LTIs, Medically Treated Injuries (MTIs) and Restricted Work Injures (RWIs), provides a higher level and captures a wider
range of injuries, which impact our workers. The Group’s performance in 2016 was 2.7, down from 3.2 in 2015, a 16% reduction. The
table below sets out the TFRIR by Operating Company.

LEAD INDICATORS
The Group uses lead indicators of safety performance to identify and help prioritise where effort is needed in order to reduce the
potential for injury to people. Lead indicators, used in this way, become important tools for risk avoidance and minimisation across any
business.
A key lead indicator that the Group measures is identifying and investigating Potential Class 1 injuries (PC1). A PC1 is an incident that may
have resulted in a fatality or a permanent disabling injury. The number of PC1 injuries reduced from 192 in 2015 to 97 in 2016.

SAFETY IN CONSTRUCTION
Consistent with CIMIC’s approach to safety, each of our Operating Companies have safety management systems that, while similar in
their approach, are tailored to meet each individual Operating Companies’ risks and hazards.
The Group is continuing to streamline reporting through the implementation of a common safety system. The benefits of having uniform
reporting, definitions and standards across the Operating Companies will assist us in the identification and roll-out of best practice and to
share safety information more efficiently across the Group.
23
An occurrence that resulted in a fatality, permanent disability or time lost from work of one day/shift or more. While the criteria for LTIs vary across
industries, essentially any injury that results in the injured employee losing one shift is generally regarded as an LTI.

Accidents per million hours worked (MhW).
25
All fatalities, lost time injuries, cases restricted for work, cases of substitute work due to injury, and medical treatment cases by medical professionals
(doctors, nurses, etc.). It does not include a first aid injury.
