HSE Performance

Valuing Safety

At Fluor, successfully managing health, safety and environmental (HSE) issues to the lowest possible risk levels is integral to the way we do business. We continue to be recognized as one of the safest contractors in the engineering and construction industry, and we thoroughly evaluate any incidents – including near misses – that occur to immediately identify areas for improvement.

We analyze both actual severity and potential severity, or “what could have happened,” in all HSE incidents to prevent recurrences and issue HSE alerts to promote learning throughout the organization.

Performance

A company-wide U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standard guides our measurement and reporting process regardless of work location.

In 2024, our workforce reported a total of 366 recordable incidents; 135 of which threatened serious injury, fatality or damage; two of which resulted in life-altering injuries; and two that tragically resulted in four fatalities. One joint venture contractor was killed when struck by a personnel lift platform, and three joint venture contractors were killed by a fire at a refinery. Finger amputations were our most significant high-severity injuries in 2024.

Total case incident rate, self-perform and subcontractor.

The self-perform and subcontractor work hours executed by our offices and in the field in 2024 resulted in a Total Case Incident Rate (TCIR) of 0.31 versus the industry average of 0.90 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data for construction companies with more than 1,000 employees).

Days away, restricted or transferred, self-perform and subcontractor

We had a combined 2024 Days Away, Restricted or Transferred (DART) workday case rate of 0.17 versus the industry average of 0.60 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data for construction companies with more than 1,000 employees).

Lost-time injury rate

In 2024, our lost time injury (LTI) frequency rate for our direct workforce per 1 million hours worked was 0.39. Our LTI severity rate for our direct workforce (number of days lost due to injuries multiplied by 1,000 per total hours worked) was 0.03.

Improvements Through Audits

Our HSE audit program allows leadership to measure site leading indicator performance and presents them with tangible opportunities to identify and prioritize areas for improvement.

In 2024, we completed a total of 75 corporate HSE audits. The 39 general worksite audits received an average score of 93.24%; the 13 Life Critical℠ audits received an average score of 92.16%; and the 23 office audits scored 95.12%, bettering our goal of 90%.

In 2022, we added a behavioral/culture section to the audit tool to capture engagement, goals, values, trust, resilience and other indicators of a healthy safety culture.
