V2X EHS PERFORMANCE METRICS
ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH AND SAFETY (EHS) PROGRAM
Our successful Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) program is characterized by low incident rates, active risk assessment, routine audits, and a defined roadmap for continual improvement. This program is designed to minimize accidents, illnesses, and environmental impacts. The program starts by regularly monitoring incident rates and identifying potential risks. Once the risks are identified, appropriate measures are taken to address them and prevent future incidents. Regular audits are conducted to ensure that the program is being implemented effectively and to identify areas for improvement. Finally, a defined roadmap outlines the steps for continuous improvement and ensures that the program stays relevant and effective over time.
Key Components
- Strong focus on risk assessment, audits, and continual improvement
- Our goal is to minimize incidents, enhance workplace safety, and ensure compliance
- Regular data monitoring and intervention strategies to reduce risks
- Roadmap for long-term EHS success and culture development
EHS DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
In an ongoing effort to enhance our Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) performance across all programs, in alignment with the V2X Vector to Zero philosophy, in 2020 we implemented an innovative global system known as Enterprise Valued Analytics (EVA). This solution enables us to efficiently manage workplace incidents, risk assessments, and audits, thereby streamlining EHS processes and incorporating effective risk mitigation measures to expand our capabilities.
EVA is a comprehensive platform for EHS, Quality, Compliance, and Risk Management that empowers each program with access to critical workplace EHS information and promotes a robust EHS culture. Employees can centralize EHS process documentation, gather valuable data insights through trend analysis, track action items, and communicate results to stakeholders.
EVA offers a suite of features, including incident reporting and investigation with corrective and preventative actions, data aggregation, and trend analysis through reports and interactive dashboards, audit programs, and risk assessments.
Our continuous improvement is demonstrated through the following leading indicators: safety messages, risk assessment reviews, reward and recognition, EHS improvements, reported near misses, and corrective and preventative actions.
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY OVERVIEW
V2X uses OSHA’s formulas to track and measure its safety performance. TRIR (Total Recordable Incident Rate) is calculated by dividing the number of recordable incidents x 200,000 by the number of hours worked for all employees and supervised subcontractors. DART (Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred) rate is calculated by dividing the number of DART cases x 200,000 by the number of hours worked for all employees and supervised subcontractors. The Near Miss Frequency Rate is calculated by dividing the number of near misses x 200,000 by the total number of hours worked.
The definition of a recordable incident is determined by OSHA regulations and includes any injury or illness that results in death, lost workdays, restricted duty, or requires medical treatment beyond first aid. We use these formulas and definitions to monitor our safety performance, identify trends, and implement corrective measures to continuously improve our safety program.
Three key metrics – Commitment to data-driven safety improvements and risk mitigation
- TRIR (Total Recordable Incident Rate): Measures workplace injury trends
- DART (Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred Rate): Tracks lost work time due to work-related injuries or illnesses
- Near Miss Frequency Rate: Reflects proactive hazard identification
RISK BASED APPROACH
The process to determine risk levels at various locations includes an assessment of the presence of high-hazard activities. Using our risk-ranking model, we consider locations with high-hazard activities and exposures, environmental risks, incident rates, and program engagement to provide targeted support and implement additional training programs.
Trends
Identified top recordable injuries and illnesses and causes. In the past several years, sprains and strains, as well as lacerations, have consistently been the most frequently recorded injuries. Distractions and slip/trip hazards have been identified as the top contributing factors for recordable injuries.
Actions
- Conducted a comprehensive analysis of injury/illness records over the past few years.
- Developed targeted training programs to address specific issues (ergonomic injuries and slips, trips, and falls).
- Monitor the effectiveness of these countermeasures over time.
Vector to Zero
V2X operates under a firm safety philosophy to achieve zero incidents in the workplace. By promoting a strong safety culture and empowering employees to identify and report potential hazards, the company has consistently maintained a strong safety record.
In recent years, the company has not experienced any work-related serious incidents or fatalities, excluding pandemic events, demonstrating the effectiveness of the safety program in protecting the well-being of employees. This success serves as a testament to the company’s unwavering commitment to maintaining a safe and healthy work environment for all.

Safety Metrics for Vectrus, Vertex, and V2X 2019-2024
Near Miss Frequency Rate
The Good Catch Program is a near-miss reporting initiative that has been highly successful in encouraging employees to report incidents that have the potential to cause harm.
- Program Success: Increased near-miss reporting from 0.09 (2021) → 0.93 (2024)
- Objective: Identify and correct hazards before incidents occur
- Encourages: A proactive culture where every safety observation counts
- Recognition for Reporting: Employees contributing to safety improvements are rewarded
Calculated by multiplying the number of near misses, unsafe acts, or unsafe conditions reported in the workplace by 200,000 hours worked and then dividing by the total number of hours worked by both employees and supervised contract employees during a determined period.
