Health: Our Aims and Targets
Prevention of occupational illness remains our highest sustainable health improvement priority. Chemical exposure related cases and work related musculoskeletal disorders attributable to ergonomic work factors account for the majority of occupational illness cases.
A new corporate policy and guidance on chemical exposure management were developed in 2009/10. These will be fully implemented during 2010/11 at all facilities globally, supported by a detailed training programme. Facilities with a higher risk of chemical related occupational illness cases will continue to implement phased containment improvement plans.
In 2010/11 a new initiative will commence to develop and strengthen our current ergonomic risk management and musculoskeletal disorder prevention programmes.
During 2010/11 we will also develop a strategy for sustainable safety, health, environment and product stewardship management. Through this, the long term agenda to further develop sustainable health programmes in our business will be defined.
