8.7%The Total Recordable Rate (TRR) is the total number of incidents (ranging from medical treatments to actual incidents resulting in absence) per one million working hours. In 2018, unfortunately, we registered 4 more incidents compared to 2017, leading to a higher TRR.
The application of Twaron® instead of steel as the reinforcing material in conveyor belts makes the belts considerably lighter. As a result, operating Twaron®-reinforced conveyor belts requires less energy. In 2018, these savings at end-users amounted to more than 300 Terajoule(TJ).
