Safety Performance In addition to lead indicators, we also track a number of lag indicators which include Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR), and Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR). Further, the severity of lost time indicators is measured by tracking and counting the number of working days lost due to the injury. Vector consolidates all contractor and direct employee safety statistics to provide a holistic picture of safety performance across our total business. We have made an 8.7%, improvement in our LTIFR over FY17. Our TRIFR has increased by 53%, which we attribute to having a more open and transparent reporting culture amongst our workforce.
