IPN Kinmel goes 24 months Lost Time Injury Free
Keeping colleagues safe is a huge priority for IPN and one that our leadership teams across the patch are immensely passionate about. This month saw a huge milestone surpassed for the Kinmel Operations team - 24 months without a LTI (Lost Time Injury)! A LTI refers to a workplace incident which results in a colleague being unable to work. Most importantly, LTI’s impact the colleague’s health and wellbeing but these have a negative impact for the company in lost productivity. To have such an achievement, takes a dedicated team who have the safety of both their colleagues and themselves as their number one priority.
Our dedicated colleagues have worked hard, and all efforts made have paid off. On Monday 24th February 2025, we achieved a remarkable milestone - 730 days LTI free! This reflects our team's dedication, professionalism and commitment to safety. It shows leadership and commitment from everybody involved.
Chief Operations Officer, Anthony Stones said ‘Ensuring the safety and well-being of our team members has been my top priority since joining the operations team. This achievement reflects the dedication and effort each of you has put into maintaining a safe working environment. It is through your unwavering commitment to following safety procedures, looking out for one another, and addressing potential hazards proactively that we have been able to reach this milestone. This accomplishment is a testament to our collective commitment to safety, diligence, and teamwork. A huge congratulations to every one of you at Kinmel for this remarkable achievement!’
Head of Health, Safety and Environment, Russ Doherty said ‘In 2019, Kinmel had a Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) of 7.19. This meant that approximately every three months, over seven colleagues were injuring themselves to the extent that they couldn’t come to work the following day. This now sits at zero. It fills me with great pride to be celebrating this achievement with you. Every one of you have, and will continue to have, a huge part to play in making Kinmel a healthy and safe place to work.’
Site Manager, Dominic Whelan commented, 'This is one of the greatest achievements of my career and I am so very proud to work in a team that dedicates time and effort to ensuring IPN Kinmel is a safe place to work and holds this as a priority. Two years without a single LTI is a huge achievement and should not be underestimated – many businesses, some far more mature than our own, struggle to achieve such a feat. A big, big thank you to every one of the Kinmel team and our colleagues in support functions, for playing a part in our safety journey. We must, however, continue to keep up the attitude and energy towards safety whilst introducing additional tools, techniques, and systems to continue to ensure we continue to have less incidents year on year. Here’s to another 12 months!'
