Safety
Since 2008 the employees and contractors that make up the company’s global work force improved our safety performance by about 50% -- decreasing injuries per 100 workers (Total Recordable Rate or TRR) from 0.59 in 2008 to 0.29 in 2012. About one in four injuries were serious enough that the worker had to lose time from work (Lost Workday Case or LWC). In 2012 we also experienced the tragic loss of an employee and a contract worker in separate fatal incidents.
