Our key health and safety performance indicators include:

• industry-wide health and safety indicators such as Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) and Lost Time Injury Severity Index (SR);
• incidents of near misses relating to potential accidents and injuries;
• incidence of occupational diseases;
• safety training statistics;
• customer health and safety statistics; and
• related fines and penalties concerning our performance in this area.
  
  

Detailed information concerning our health and safety performance will appear in our forthcoming Sustainable Development  Report. Highlights include:

Our safety record continues to improve. The reducing trend in our Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate is shown below.

• No occupational diseases have been reported at any of our locations.
• The conduct of a highly successful Safety Week at all our units in which business unit heads, employees, contractors and trade unions actively participated.
• Training and awareness of health and safety issues continue to be central to our approach to this important area. Over the last financial year over 66,000 man-day’s of training was imparted to employees and contractors.
  
  

Most of our units are ISO14001 and OHSAS 18001 certified.
