Lost time injury frequency rate

The data below provides disclosure under the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) indicator LA7: Rates of injury, occupational diseases, lost days, and absenteeism, and number of work-related fatalities by region.

To enable comparison of historical data, we have set out below the breakdown of the lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) recorded at each of AngloGold Ashanti’s operations since 2006. The LTIFR is the number of lost time injuries that occur per million hours worked.
