We work to promote a safe, healthy and
energising work environment in which our
employees and partners are able to express
their talents, drive innovation and improve
business performance. Our five-year target
period ended in 2015. The targets for 2015
included
>>no fatalities
>>lost time injury/illness rate per million
hours worked of no more than 1.91
(a 25% reduction from the 2010 baseline)
>>no more than 5.6 collisions per million
kilometres driven (40% reduction from
2008 baseline)
>>at least 80% of sites and marketing
companies to offer six essential health
activities.
Our highest priority remains driver safety,
particularly among our sales force who form
the largest group of employees driving on
AstraZeneca business. We monitor
performance centrally to assess progress
and identify areas for improvement. In 2015,
we delivered our five-year target for reducing
collisions per million kilometres driven,
achieving a 55% reduction from baseline.
We regret, however, that one employee was
killed in a traffic accident while driving on
AstraZeneca business. We carried out a
detailed investigation into this accident and
developed an action plan to address the
findings. Actions were monitored and what
was learnt from the incident was shared
widely across the business. Having already
achieved our 2015 lost time injury/illness rate
target two years early, we achieved a further
reduction in 2015. This equates to a 46%
overall reduction from the 2010 baseline.
The 2015 health and wellbeing target was
missed, with 60% of sites offering six
essential health activities, compared to the
80% target. Although this is disappointing,
84% of sites now offer at least five activities,
compared to only 28% in 2011.
