As indicators of our health and safety performance
we measure:
All injury and illness rates are per 100,000 hours worked. We include in the category of employees contract workers who are directly supervised by GSK employees. We do not currently include work-related mental illness in these rates.
The total number of cases of occupational injury with or without lost days decreased from 1,830 in 2001 to 1,592 in 2002 and 1,351 in 2003. The total number of cases of reportable occupational illness including mental illness with or without lost days increased from 448 in 2001 to 494 in 2002 and 624 in 2003. This is due in part to better recognition and reporting of work related illnesses. |
