Alcoa has reported dramatic reductions in workplace injuries in its European operations.
The aluminium company – which has 28,500 employees in Europe and 131,000 in 43 countries worldwide – says that concerted efforts to improve health and safety have achieved a 67 per cent reduction in lost workdays and a 50 per cent cut in recordable injuries at its European locations between 2000 and 2004.
Alcoa says some of its units are now showing that its goal of zero lost workdays is attainable. For more than seven years now no employee has suffered an injury severe enough to require absence from work, even for a day, at its smelter and rolling plant in Fusina, Italy.
The statistics are published in Alcoa’s first European sustainability report, covering operations in 16 countries. The 32-page report shows that Alcoa and the Alcoa Foundation provided €2.29million ($2.76m, £1.58m) in grants to European organizations during 2004, and that employees volunteered more than 27,000 hours in their communities.
