Our goal is to avoid all work-related injuries and illnesses and we have programmes in place aimed at achieving this goal. However, in 2002 there were three work-related fatalities. Two of the fatalities were motor vehicle accidents involving sales employees, one in India and one in Poland. The third fatality was a contract worker in Belgium who died in a fall. In addition there were four severe injuries, one involving chemical burns and three involving crush or fracture injuries of hands or feet. There was one case of mesothelioma due to past occupational exposure to asbestos and several cases of disability due to noise induced hearing loss and sensitisations.
