City Employee Safety - Total Recordable Injury Rate (TRIR) YTD
Analysis of Performance
Althought our TRIR is still high, we are seeing that our "report only" injuries and minor injuries requiring only first aid are still highter than our recordable injuries. We have 139 injuries that were minor, requiring only first aid or no medical treatment. There are 105 injuries this year that required treatment beyond first aid. This shows a strong safety culture where reporting is encouraged and taking care of our employees is still our priority.
The significant turnover rate and low staffing levels continues to contribute to our increase in injuries but by tracking these we are working toward better training, improved best practices, and new equipment purchases to reduce the risk of injury.

Why Is This Important?
City Organization Impact on Performance
High – Reducing the TRIR rate requires the City to reduce the number of injuries that are sustained in any given year. Driving down injuries requires workgroups to actively work to identify and mitigate injury causes. We are seeing more employee involvement throughout the City now than at any point in the past through sharing of best practices and lessons learned, excellent active safety meeting attendance, new safety teams being launched, and safety team members being called on more than ever by their workgroups to help spearhead safety improvements.
