2007 Accident performance
In 2007, there were 295 injuries reported to the Health and Safety Executive under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR) for a population of circa 50,000 people, including both direct employees and subcontractors in the UK and international regions.
The 295 reported RIDDOR injuries comprised of one fatality, 66 major injuries and 228 >3 day injuries. This resulted in our lowest accident frequency rate (AFR) of 0.14, based on the number of RIDDOR injuries per 100,000 hours worked, compared to 0.18 in 2006. This improvement is the direct measure that provides some indication of the impacts of our commitment to ensure the delivery of Target Zero.
The following table summarises our RIDDOR and AFR performance for the previous 5 years:
