As indicators of our health and safety performance we measure:

• Work-related injuries and illnesses that are serious enough to cause the injured or ill employees to be unable to work one or more days.
• Calendar days that employees are unable to work due to these injuries and illnesses.
• Work-related injuries and illnesses that do not cause the injured or ill employees to be unable to work.

We report these injury and illness indicators as rates per 100,000 hours worked. Work-related injuries and illnesses experienced by all GSK employees as well as by contract workers who are directly supervised by GSK employees are included. Construction contractors or contract companies on site that supervise and direct their own staff are not included. We do not currently include work-related mental illness in these rates.

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 2002, the lost time injury and illness rate for this group was 0.50 lost time injuries and illnesses per 100,000 hours worked. This is higher than the lost time injury and illness rate (0.40) for this group in 2001 and higher than the lost time injury and illness rate of 0.34 for GSK employees. The reportable injury and illness rate is 1.22 injuries and illnesses without lost time per 100,000 hours worked and the lost day rate is 6.66 calendar days lost per 100,000 hours worked. The reportable injury and illness rate and the lost day rate were not measured for this group in 2001. Part of the increase in the lost time rate may be due to improved reporting in this group.
