Goals for HSE and External Environment

For the Group as a whole, the goal is an injury rate of five by the end of 2010. (Injury rate is the number of injuries per million hours worked). Our long-term goal, however, is an injury-free workplace.

For sickness absence our target is a rate of less than 3 per cent for all employees by the end of 2010. Read more about
sickness absence in the community report 2009.
