“We maintain our target of an LTIF of 1.5 by 2020.”

Henrik Poulsen, CEO · 2017 · DONG Energy Annual report 2016 Summary (DONG Energy)

DONG Energy maintains its target of a lost-time injury frequency (LTIF) of 1.5 by 2020.

Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.

Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.

What would count as true or false

Test: was the reported lost-time injury frequency for 2020 at or below 1.5? True: the 2020 LTIF is at most 1.5. Mostly true: LTIF was at most 1.5 in 2020 with a minor discrepancy in the reporting basis. Mostly false: the 2020 LTIF was above 1.5 but at most 2.0, or 1.5 was reached only after 2020. False: the 2020 LTIF was above 2.0, or the target was dropped.

Evidence

1. Interim ESG report 9M 2020.pub Ørsted A/S · 2020 Own record

   “The total recordable injury rate (TRIR) for 9M 2020 was 3.8 injuries per million hours worked compared with 4.7 in 9M 2019.”

2. Interim ESG report H1 2020 Ørsted A/S · 2020 Own record

   “TRIR for H1 2020 was 3.6 injuries per million hours worked compared with 4.4 in H1 2019.”

3. Ørsted - ESG performance report 2020 Ørsted A/S · 2020 Own record

   “Injuries per million hours worked”

Reasoning

Ørsted's 2020 interim ESG reports give safety performance as a total recordable injury rate (TRIR): 3.6 for H1 2020 [E2] and 3.8 for 9M 2020 [E1]. Neither gives a lost-time injury frequency. The full-year 2020 ESG performance report also frames its safety target as TRIR, and its extracted text contains no 2020 LTIF figure [E3]. The switch to TRIR hints that the metric changed, but no source states that the LTIF target of 1.5 was dropped or gives a 2020 LTIF, so the criteria cannot be applied.
