STATUS OF GOALS FOR 2009/2010
Reduce accident rate (number of accidents with lost workdays for every 1 million hours worked) from 4.3 to 2.0 (referenced to 2010)
Corporate entity: Groupwide
Deadline: 2015
Implementation status: In 2011, the accident rate (number of workplace accidents with missed work days per 1 million hours worked) fell to 3.9. In 2012, this figure rose to 4.7. We are unhappy with the accident rate and are redoubling our industrial safety measures, e.g. with our new WACKER Safety Plus program. This goal remains in force.
