Performance Data
We want to be transparent about how we are tracking on our sustainability commitments. We rely on year-over-year data to help measure our performance. We report this data using the internationally recognized Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) reporting framework.
The data points reported are ones that are critical to our business and important to our stakeholders. For more information about how we manage each of these areas, read our management approaches. All data tables can be downloaded here.

Employee Blood-Lead Average
The adjusted Occupational Health and Safety Administration’s (OSHA) standard for medical reassignment of an employee is 53 micrograms of lead per deciliter of whole blood (“μg/dL”).(1) Doe Run has reduced its medical reassignment maximum limit to 25μg/dL. If any Doe Run employee has a blood-lead level that reaches 25 μg/dL, they are temporarily reassigned to duties with lower exposures to lead.

According to OSHA, lost time is defined as a nonfatal traumatic injury that causes any loss of time from work beyond the day or shift it occurred, or a nonfatal nontraumatic illness/disease that causes disability at any time. According to the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), lost time is defined as days which the employee would have worked, but could not because of an occupational injury or an occupational illness. A fatality is not counted as a lost-time accident.
