Performance Scorecard

During 2007, a management information system was implemented which enabled and standardised capture of HS&E data across our new company.  The data, reflecting some of the key HS&E aspects of our business, are presented in the scorecard sections below.  It forms a baseline from which future performance targets can be set.

 

Health and safety 2007 performance

Lost time injury rate
Number of injuries sustained at work where the person is unable to attend work for one or more days beyond the day on which the injury occurred as a consequence of the injury
(per million hours worked)

 

There were no fatalities at UCB facilities.

4.52

 

Resource consumption 2007 performance

Energy consumption (million gigajoules, GJ)

By source:

  Purchased electricity

  Natural gas

  Fuel oil
