Increase in our efforts to reduce an accident
frequency to a maximum of 2.0 cases per
100 Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs) in 2008
A decrease in accident severity to 40 lost
days per 100 FTEs by the end of 2008.
The safety of those who work in and near our
operations has to be paramount. It is a basic
requirement that an employer provides a safe
working environment and that a set of rigorous
rules and policies are in place to govern this and to
minimise accident frequency and severity. We also
care about the communities in which we operate.
In this respect, being a good citizen means both
the prevention of incidents that could endanger
the health and safety of our neighbours as well as
the reduction of nuisance caused by our activities.
The data in this section relates to the production
sites (breweries, soft drink plants and maltings)
where Heineken has technical control. The data
though exclude our facilities in Gastein (Gasteiner,
Austria, in 2007), Bad Brambach, Donaueschingen,
Karlsruhe, Chemnitz, Kulmbach, Plauen, Wiirzburg
and Rosenheim (Brau Holding International,
Germany) that did not submit a report. Collectively,
these facilities represent less than 1 per cent of
the total group volume.
Our objectives
We strive continuously to improve our safety
performance. We set measurable targets for
accident frequency and severity in the production
area with a three-year horizon. Improvements
have to be realised by the training of our
employees and the mandatory implementation of
the safety pillar under TPM.
Our targets are:
An accident frequency below 2 cases per 100
Full Time Equivalents (FTEs)
Accident severity of maximum 40 lost days per
100 FTEs.
