Our Vision, Policy and Goals
The protection of human health and the personal safety of our team members and business partners is of the utmost importance. We work on this through EGX daily management, risk reduction initiatives, audits and sharing lessons learned and best practices. We strive to operate in a diligent and responsible manner consistent with other world-class corporations and aligned with our stated Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) business goals and policy statement. We conduct business in a manner to meet or exceed regulations, such as those established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. We strive to foster and cultivate a culture of safety, and we empower and support our team members in their ongoing efforts to prevent accidents of all kinds and to promote a safe environment.
2025 SAFETY PROGRAMS AND PERFORMANCE
In 2025, as further detailed in the table of recordable incidents below, we made significant progress in reducing recordable incidents and improving our total recordable incident rate (TRIR). Leveraging our L.I.F.T. (Live Incident-Free Today) program across Enovis (as further described in our 2024 CSR Report), our total recordable incidents decreased by 4 (15%) and our TRIR dropped 0.09 points (24%) as compared to 2024.
Consistent with our culture of continuous improvement, we plan to build on these accomplishments and further strengthen our safety programs and initiatives as we strive for even better results and our ultimate goal of zero recordable incidents.
2026 SAFETY CAMPAIGN
In 2026, we plan to build on this momentum by focusing on our four safety principles to further solidify our culture of safety:
- Daily Safety Gemba Walks: regular floor tours where leaders and teams connect in person to spot hazards and improve the workspace together.
- “Early Ouch” Communication: a simple way for anyone to flag minor aches or strains early so we can address the issue before it becomes an injury.
- Personal Accountability and Situational Awareness: staying mindful of your surroundings and looking out for your teammates as much as yourself.
- Use of Stop Work Authority: the power given to every employee to pause any job that feels unsafe with no questions asked.
A core component of our 2026 Safety Program centers on Safety Risk Intelligence. This requires each of us to be fully aware of our environment, our actions within that space and the inherent risks associated with both. Being Safety Risk Intelligent means remaining attuned to your surroundings, adhering to established safe practices and proactively identifying, mitigating or escalating hazards.
To support the development of Safety Risk Intelligence, we utilize the following tools and principles:
- Safety is Non-Negotiable: You have the right and responsibility to use Stop Work Authority without fear of retribution if something unsafe is observed.
- 30-30 Rule: A constant reminder to check your surroundings 30 feet around you every 30 minutes to ensure a safe environment.
- Safety Observations: Identifying and submitting observations is a critical part of engagement and raising awareness of hazards and behaviors.
- Hazard Hunts: Actively look for hazards as individuals and groups daily. Do not underestimate the obvious; strive to "see the unseen."

Safety Metrics
Throughout the year, our teams are encouraged to discuss the importance of building on our safety momentum and increasing focus on safety. Teams have access to a training “toolbox” to reinforce our key safety principles, and also share learnings and best practices during daily operations meetings and our monthly Global EHS meeting.
We monitor and measure our safety performance using numerous established metrics and report various key performance indicators to our Board and senior leadership. These metrics include total recordable incident rate (TRIR).
