4. Preventing road risks and chemical risks The European Road Network line of business has rolled out its comprehensive occupational risk prevention program, Roadcare. The program includes an on-board system to assess and improve driver behavior, with benefi cial effects in terms of safety (vehicle control) and the environment (reduced fuel consumption). In 2024, as part of this program, teams from the Chemicals and Gas business unit toured agency offi ces in France to explain safety rules relating to chemical risks to offi ce staff, drivers, mechanics and supervisors. Protection on international travel On an international level, the Group offers support and training for employees traveling to high-risk countries, with safety, prevention and support initiatives for crisis situations of all kinds, including the management of natural disasters and epidemics such as monkeypox (or Mpox) and the Marburg virus. Results ● 892 lost-time incidents were reported during the year (employees). ● 271,000 hours of training were dedicated to health and safety. Lost-time incident frequency rate per million hours worked (employees) Severity rate 2022 2023 0.55 0.56 2024 0.54 2022 10.5 2023 9.8 2024 10.3 The following table (1) presents the main indicators for Group employees. 2022 2023 2024 Lost-time incident frequency rate per million hours worked (employees) 10.5 9.8 10.3 Number of lost-time incidents 860 862 (3) 892 Severity rate (2) 0.55 0.56 0.54 Number of deaths (employees) 2 1 1 Average number of days lost per lost-time incidents (employees) 51.5 57.1 55.1 Number of hours of health and safety training per FTE 5.87 5.45 5.95 Number of ISO 45001 certifi ed sites 250 256 255 Sadly, the Group reported the death in 2024 of an employee who suffered a heart attack during a rest period. (1) Excludes Need It Now Delivers in 2022 and 2023. (2) The Group changed its methodology in 2024 from counting working days lost to counting calendar days lost. However, to enable comparison with previous years, the frequency rate shown is based on a calculation in working days (64,122 calendar days x 5/7 = 45,801 working days). The severity rate of 0.54 shown here is based on a calculation in working days, whereas it would be 0.74 if calculated in calendar days. (3) The figure published in 2024 was 865 lost-time incidents, but this was subsequently corrected to 862 after the reclassification of several incidents. 2024 ACTIVITY AND SUSTAINABILITY REPORT - 67 EDITORIAL > 1.
