Other HSE performance indicators
The number of employee TIFR-related injuries decreased by 28%, and contractor TIFR-related injuries decreased by 31%. The majority of FY21 TIFR injuries were of low/moderate severity. Key contributing factors to the injuries sustained included inadequate identification and control of hazards, mind on task/distraction issues and incorrect techniques and work methods used for routine tasks. Contractor performance has significantly improved in FY21 due to an increased focus on active engagement prior to and during major outages across our operations and the utilisation of the Contractor Management Framework, which includes the use of the Authority to Mobilise tool. The number of HSE Walks and Critical Control Checks completed exceeded the targets established for FY21, despite significant challenges faced by our employees and contractors on site due to the restrictions imposed by lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

NR: Not reported
Critical Control Check - A Critical Control Check is a tool used by operational leaders to ensure critical controls are being implemented. Within these checks the Critical Controls have been divided into three categories; Plant, Process and People. Critical Control Checks replaced HSE Technical Interactions during FY19.
Environment Walk - An Environment Walk is a process which can be carried out by any employee, regardless of technical competency. It is used to document observations and conversations specific to the environment carried out in any setting. It can be focused on a particular task or work environment, but its focus can also be general in nature.
Health and Safety Walk - A Health and Safety Walk is a process which can be carried out by any employee, regardless of technical competency. It is used to document observations and conversations specific to health and safety carried out in any setting. It can be focused on a particular task or work environment, but its focus can also be general in nature.
Health and Safety Hazard - A Health and Safety Hazard is any observation or workplace situation or source that has the potential to harm the health and safety of people or damage plant and equipment if not controlled.
Environment Hazard - An Environment Hazard is classified as any observation, task, process or equipment that has the potential to be a source of future environmental harm if left unattended.
Health and Safety Near Miss - A Health and Safety Near Miss is classified as an unplanned event or error that did not result in injury or illness but had the potential to do so.
Environment Near Miss - An Environment Near Miss is classified as any event where no actual regulatory breach or unauthorised environmental impact occurred but there was potential for a regulatory breach or unauthorised environmental impact to occur, i.e. the event was a close call and could result in an incident in the future unless improvement actions are implemented.
Recordable Incident - A Recordable Incident is a safety or environment incident that resulted in the injury or illness of a person requiring Lost Time or Medical Treatment, or an Environment Regulatory Reportable event.
High Potential Near Miss - A High Potential Near Miss is an unplanned Event or error that did not result in injury, illness, equipment/property damage or fire but where the potential to do so is ranked high or above as per AGL Energy's FIRM matrix. This includes a high potential first aid, compliance breach of permits, critical controls and/or lifesaving rules.
High Potential Environment Near Miss - A High Potential Environment Near Miss is classified as any event where no actual regulatory breach or unauthorised environmental impact occurred but where the potential for this to occur is ranked high or above as per AGL Energy’s FIRM framework.
Southern Phone Company and Perth Energy (both acquired during FY20) are included from FY21.
