Safety
reported additional measures to make sure that
hearing protection is provided. Furthermore,
the majority of units regularly check the use of
personal protective equipment and these units
apply sanctions in the event of non-compliance.
As a result of our performance improvement, we
managed to meet our target of 2.7 accidents per
100 FTE for 2006. We expect that continuous
attention for safety enables us to achieve our
target of 2.0 cases per 100 FTE by the end of 2008.
These efforts include mandatory implementation
of the safety activities under Total Productive
Management, starting in Europe.
In 2006, the number of accidents involving
contractor personnel decreased from 101
to 84. Accidents involving contractor personnel
are not included in the company accident
frequency indicator.
The severity of recorded accidents fluctuates
between 69 lost days per 100 FTEs in 2004,
61 days in 2005 and 62 days in 2006. This small
increase in 2006 was the result of the impact of
a number of individual accidents. For example
in Zywiec, Poland, 's Flertogenbosch, the
Netherlands, and Bujumbura, Burundi, each
resulted in a long sick leave.
We did not meet our target for 2006 of 49 days
per 100 FTE, but we believe that by successfully
addressing accident frequency it will enable us
to reduce our target of 34 lost days per 100 FTE
in 2008.
In 2006, six production units reported one
or more violations of local mandatory safety
regulations. In one of these cases, a fine of
€6,750 was paid.
