We also keep track of the injuries and illnesses that are related to work on GSK premises but that are experienced by people who work for other companies such as contract food service companies, landscape companies and maintenance companies. In 2003, the lost time injury and illness rate for this group was 0.34 lost time injuries and illnesses per 100,000 hours worked. This is an improvement from 0.50 in 2002 but it is still one of the highest rates when compared to the GSK business units. The lost day rate is 3.62 calendar days lost per 100,000 hours worked. The GSK reportable injury and illness without lost time rate for contract workers is 1.01 injuries and illnesses without lost time per 100,000 hours worked.
Of the pilot group of seven contract manufacturers, six provided
health and safety information. Employees at these sites worked
a total of 3,217,548 hours on manufacturing GSK products. They
reported nine injuries with no lost time, 12 injuries resulting
in lost time and 239 calendar days lost from injuries. No illnesses
were reported. The lost time injury rate for this group was .37
lost time injuries per 100,000 hours worked. |
