work. Significant improvements have been
achieved in our production units in
the Africa Middle East region. In St. Denis,
La Reunion, we introduced improved maintenance
management and safety requirements and in
Bujumbura, Burundi, old packaging lines were
replaced by modern and safer lines.
Unfortunately, the improvements have been offset
by decreased performance in Haikou, China,
where the number of accidents involving external
personnel increased, and in Zywiec, Poland,
where a relatively high number of accidents
occurred during a peak period.
Almost all our employees in production units
have completed basic safety training, while
about half of the units also organise and run
regular refresher sessions. Intensive training
and awareness programmes have been run at
a number of locations.
There are a number of areas in our production
units where the use of personal protective
equipment is required: in the bottling hall, in the
engine rooms and in the handling of cleaning
agents. It is our policy to provide personal
protective equipment to personnel working in all
areas where safety and health hazards may exist.
Through the occupational safety reports, all our
units indicated that dust masks, safety glasses
and other protective equipment is provided in
all production units. A number of locations
