We continuously assess safety risks to ensure they are mitigated where possible. We are certified to ISO 45001, the Occupational Health and Safety Management System, and have developed robust Health and Safety programs and initiatives to safeguard our team members, partners and visitors.
Achieve zero workplace injuries and illnesses.
We are committed to maintaining an EHS culture that fosters a healthy and productive work environment. "Health" encompasses medical and physical well-being, as well as emotional and mental wellness.
All our manufacturing sites employ occupational-health specialists and most have onsite clinics. Most of our non-manufacturing sites employ occupational-health specialists as well. We contract doctors at certain locations for job-related medical services for our team members. NXP has a global focus on reducing work-related ergonomics injuries and strains, allowing for a more ergo-friendly work environment. We offer comprehensive health-insurance plans and many of our sites organize annual physicals and preventative health screenings, including flu shots.
Several of our global sites offer subsidized gym-membership plans, access to fitness classes and/or onsite fitness facilities. In addition to physical fitness, we offer programs and guidance on nutrition, weight loss and avoiding unhealthy habits, such as smoking, drinking alcohol and drug use.
Team members are offered resources and assistance programs to source and/or consult with specialists for mental well-being and help in dealing with major life events. In addition, our Human Resources team members are available to help address other workplace concerns. NXP also offers a variety of internal and external online resources addressing various life events.
All our manufacturing sites have Health and Safety experts who specialize in supervising protective measures and creating safe and ergonomically friendly workplaces. All areas of the workplace are incorporated, including areas of production, offices, labs and other technical areas.
Our proactive safety initiatives include:
In 2023, there were no incidents that resulted in fines or sanctions in connection with noncompliance of Health and Safety laws or regulations. There were no fatal work-related accidents for our workers or contractors.
We maintained a low Total Case Incident Rate (TCIR) of 0.10 in 2023 and remain well below the semiconductor-industry averages published by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) and the European Semiconductor Industry Association (ESIA), which, based on the latest data available, ranges from 0.35 to 1.56
Each year, the number of occupational illnesses and injuries and the number of hours worked vary. We continue to maintain our low number of occupational illnesses and injuries. We attribute this to our ongoing focus on preventative measures. We will continue to investigate all work-related injuries to determine root causes and corrective/preventative actions.
Our severity rate remained low in 2023. Our focus on risk reduction and incident management across all sites is reflected in our ability to remain below the industry average for severity rate, which historically ranges from five to eight. We continue to emphasize the importance of providing a safe workplace by not only measuring our injury rate but also identifying trends, conducting year-on-year analyses and categorizing injury types to help identify corrective actions.
We are here to answer any inquiry regarding our corporate sustainability efforts, including EHS and environmental product compliance.
