*Incident Rate (per 100 workers) = (Number of minor, serious and fatal accidents × 100) ÷ Total number of workers. The number of accidents used in this calculation includes events formally reported by our network of operations (steps 1, 2, and 3). The data was collected in collaboration with the OHS managers at each mining site and are aligned with the national frameworks of Colombia and Peru, where accidents are classified by severity (minor, serious or fatal). These classifications reflect the physical impact of the accident and any resulting incapacity.
