Health & Safety
As part of the ArcelorMittal group, Health and Safety is ArcelorMittal Construction Solutions’ number one priority and we work vigorously towards the goal of zero accidents and injuries through our Health and Safety improvement process called ‘Journey to Zero’.
Journey to Zero
ArcelorMittal has introduced the Journey to Zero (JTZ) project in response to the H&S corporate track record in the last few years. The project involves the leveraging of learning and sharing the best H&S practices across the entire organisation. It is a continuous process in which each employee at any level has a role to play.
A database has been created for the H&S track record and trends where the particulars of lost-time injuries and injuries without lost time are entered, including the number of days lost on account of an accident, based on which the severity rate is determined.
ArcelorMittal has also drawn up operating standards for the prevention of industrial accidents. The standards cover areas such as work at heights, work in confined spaces, housekeeping, crane transport, the system of work with contractors, and railway and road transport. An operating standard dealing with shop-floor audits and layered audits has also been issued. Its purpose is communication support, employee engagement and the checking of safety at work.

We believe that steel has a critical role to play in helping society decarbonise and will very much be a solution to the problem.
As the world’s leading steel company, we have a significant responsibility to innovate, implement and navigate a successful pathway towards a cleaner steelmaking industry. Our journey towards becoming carbon neutral by 2050, having aligned with the Paris climate goals and the European Green Deal by committing to reduce European CO2 emissions by 35% by 2030 and be carbon neutral by 2050, is well underway.
