Safety at Terex
At Terex, safety is an absolute way of life. We are committed to Zero Harm, and we embrace a safety culture in which all leaders and team members are committed to our Zero Harm goal, and to each other for continuous safety improvement. We provide our team members the tools, training, and systems needed to plan and perform their work safely. All team members are expected to pause any job if they encounter or observe an unsafe condition or any situation that poses a safety risk. Our leaders are expected to foster a culture of safety, ensure that their teams are equipped for safe operations, and support pausing a job.
Life Saving Behaviors
Nine Life Saving Behaviors have been identified as crucial for preventing the most severe incidents. These non-negotiable rules are mandatory for all team members to follow and are supported by our Company's Safety Leadership Standard Work, which sets expectations for leaders throughout the organization.
I protect myself
against falls when working at heights.
I stand clear
of the danger zone from unstable/suspending tools.
I verify isolation
- lock tag and try - when work involves hazardous energy.
I follow
my lifting plan: No Plan. No Lift.
I obtain authorization
and validate air quality before entering a confined space.
I check
that my interlocks and guarding work correctly on my equipment and never bypass them.
I wear
my seat belt.
I position myself
in a safe zone in relation to moving equipment.
I pause
and ask for help from my supervisor if a condition is not safe or I cannot take these actions. If a near miss occurs, I report it immediately.
Total Recordable Incident Rate & Lost Time Injury Rate
We are seeking to achieve a Lost Time Incident Rate of 0.49 and a Total Recordable Incident Rate of 1.8 by year-end 2024. We encourage and empower team members to report Near Misses and have seen success with this metric, as evidenced by increasing numbers of these reports. This is a key indicator of increased awareness and engagement in safety initiatives. It is also a contributor to our overall decrease in recordable injuries.
Injury Prevention Behaviors
The Injury Prevention Behaviors (IPBs) at Terex are fundamental to keeping our team members safe. These behaviors have been carefully developed and are based on the most prevalent risks faced by our workforce, making them crucial in preventing injuries.
