Leadec sets new record in occupational safety: LTI rate of 1.0 in 2024

Stuttgart/Germany, 03/18/2025 - Safety is a top priority at Leadec. With a Lost Time Injury Rate (LTI rate) of 1.0, the company recorded the lowest accident frequency in its history in 2024. For every million hours worked, there was only one accident resulting in at least one day's absence.

Markus Glaser-Gallion, CEO of Leadec, emphasizes the importance of this success: "Safety is a top management task, which is essential for creating a strong safety culture. Our group-wide 'Safety - It's your life' campaign is a central component of our work. Because accidents at work and work-related illnesses are preventable. I am very pleased that we have been able to further improve occupational safety through the daily efforts of many employees." In the previous year, the LTI rate was already at a very low level of 1.1.

 

Our success is based on systematic safety management. The high safety standards are firmly anchored in the HSE (Health, Safety, Environment) management system and are consistently implemented. In 2024, 33,000 preventive safety inspections, over 3,200 new risk assessments for workplaces and specific activities and comprehensive global audits were carried out. Leadec also places particular emphasis on regular training and the global exchange of best practices.

 

Digital solution for safety

HSE software is used at over 95% of Leadec sites, with which around 1,500 people manage all safety-relevant processes in real time: from accident reporting to audits and training. This contributes to the fact that over 80% of the sites are already certified in accordance with the international standards ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety management), ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 14001 (environmental management).

 

"The LTI rate of 1.0 is a great success. We work every day to make our workplaces even safer," confirms Markus Bölke, who is globally responsible for Green Factory Solutions, sustainability and HSE at Leadec. Leadec customers regularly reward this commitment with awards for occupational safety.
