Old
Mutual strives to provide a safe and healthy working environment for
its employees.
Our standards meet the requirements of the Occupational Health and
Safety Act, and management is responsible for sound health and safety
practices. We are proactive in identifying and dealing with exposure
to risk, and will always prioritise employee safety over factors of
productivity where real risk of injury or occupational illness exists.
During 2002, 19 days were lost due to injuries suffered by staff while
on duty. This represents a significant improvement over the 124 days
lost in the previous year.
These figures translate into a decline in the percentage of employees
injured from 0.5% in 2001 to 0.2% last year.
