During 2007, a total of 1'160 associates suffered work related injuries. Of these, 369 (2006: 361) led to days off work (integrated into the LTAR). The distribution of injuries by immediate cause indicates that the most prominent safety issues are related to non-operational activities, such as slips, trips and falls at offices and sites, and transport accidents within the sales force, which together accounted for 57% of occupational injuries with lost time.
