2021 SUSTAINABILITY PROGRESS REPORT | Cummins Inc. 0 8 ERGO CUP CELEBRATES MILESTONE IN REDUCING ERGONOMIC RISKS The Health and Safety function celebrated its 10th annual Ergo Cup competition in 2021 and again saw an increased level of participation and commitment from Cummins locations around the world. The Ergo Cup is a competition where company sites enter a variety of initiatives they have implemented to reduce ergonomic injuries, among the top three types of injuries at Cummins. The competition presents an opportunity for sites to share best practices and drive a reduction in ergonomic risks across the company. Since its inception, the Ergo Cup has captured an estimated $50 million in cost avoidance and $13 million in productivity and efficiency gains from more than 900 innovative ergonomic solutions submitted for judging. In 2021, more than 60 sites entered more than 150 projects for review. The projects ranged from finger push force improvements to hammer eliminations to initiatives designed to eliminate dangerous lifts. Collectively, the 2021 entrants delivered an estimated $3.8 million in productivity and efficiency savings and an estimated $13 million in cost avoidance. The 2021 cup winner was the Cummins Turbo Technologies facility in Wuxi, China, which eliminated multiple high-risk lifts for nearly 300 turbos per shift while improving productivity. There were three Judges Choice winners in the 2021 competition, recognizing excellence in advanced manufacturing technology: Cummins Electronics and Fuel Systems China in Wuxi was honored for automatic kitting designed to eliminate bending and manual handling of thousands of pieces per shift. The Cummins Mid-Range Engine Plant in Columbus, Indiana, was recognized for mitigating the ergonomic risk from some highly repetitive workstations with more than a half-dozen collaborative robots. The Cummins Electronics and Fuel Systems plant in Columbus was honored for using a collaborative robot to mitigate risks from loading and unloading some needle shaped objects. 44 HOW CUMMINS COMPARES Cummins Incidence Rate compared to other industries: CUMMINS US MOTOR & GENERATOR MFG US MOTOR VEHICLE MFG SAFETY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS Here’s a look at key trends in safety at Cummins. 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 SEVERITY CASE RATE INCIDENCE RATE 0.61 0.59 0.63 0.65 0.59 0.48 0.69 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 HEALTH AND SAFETY // 2.9 3.1 3.2 2.3 2.3 1.9 2.1 6.9 6.6 6.5 6.3 6.2 5.7 6.4
