INTRODUCTION OUR PLANET OUR SUPPLY CHAIN OUR PEOPLE OUR COMMUNITY ABOUT THE REPORT
HEALTH AND SAFETY Worker health and safety are paramount at Parts Authority, which is why we strive to create a safer workplace through a multifaceted, nationwide program. Our vision is for every team member to be able to work free of hazards, to return home safely every day, and to avoid preventable accidents and injuries. Although safety has always been important for our company, we strengthened our commitment to this priority in March 2019 when we appointed the company’s �rst National Safety & Compliance Director. The director has created and implemented a program that strives to address systemic safety risk while also engaging team members in a culture that emphasizes proactive accident mitigation. The program is guided by three principles: • To ensure that there is strong commitment from team members to prevent accidents and injuries before they happen. • To manage accidents properly when they do happen (from timely reporting to full closure) and to return the injured person to full duty or alternative work as quickly as possible. • To approach every aspect of the safety program with a sense of urgency and e�ective implementation and accountability. Safety program highlights include: monthly scorecards for locations, which capture metrics related to injuries, accidents, days away and other factors; monthly safety inspections for each branch, and driver-speci�c training to help reduce preventable accidents on the road. In the 2022 calendar year, Parts Authority recorded these safety-related results across the company:
• Safety inspections conducted for over 200 locations • Lost-time workplace accident rate of 4.4 . This is based on 284 lost-time workplace accidents and 106 other recordable accidents (in the context of 12.9 million total hours worked in 2022 across the company) based on OSHA’s calculations, which use 200,000 hours (100 employees working 40 hours a week for 50 weeks a year). • 9.90 accidents per million miles driven. We experienced 934 total vehicle accidents in 2022.
