What we delivered
In production, our accident frequency rate for company
personnel improved from 2.6 accidents per 100 FTEs
in 2007 to 2.4 in 2008. Approximately half of our production
units met the 2008 Company target of a maximum of
2.0 accidents per 100 FTEs. Next year, the new acquisitions
(mainly Scottish Newcastle) will negatively impact our
performance as they had an accident frequency of
2.7 accidents per 100 FTEs in 2008 group figures.
The severity of the recorded accidents of company
personnel in production improved from 68 lost calendar
days per 100 FTEs in 2007 to 55 lost days in 2008. More
than half of the production sites met the Company guide
value of 40 lost days per 100 FTEs. The new acquisitions
(mainly Scottish Newcastle) had a similar figure of 54
lost calendar days per 100 FTEs.
The number of accidents involving contractor personnel
increased from 143 in 2007 to 180 in 2008. This remains
a point of continuous attention for future safety activities.
Regrettably, there were five fatal accidents in 2008
(two Fleineken employees of whom one in production
and three contractors of whom one in production).
A brewery employee in MLinchen (Germany) died from
C02 intoxication. In Russia, an employee working in the
Sales and Commerce department lost his life in a road
traffic accident. In Kaduna (Nigeria), a contracted safety
guard died when a fence collapsed. In Montpellier (France),
a contractor in distribution died as a result of an accident
during lifting and loading operations. In Krusovice (Czech
Republic), a third-party truck driver sustained fatal injuries
following a collision with a forklift truck.
