Health — Approach
  
To achieve our ideal of zero work-related illnesses and injuries, and improved health and well-being for all employees, we strive to identify and quantify health risks in the following categories:
  • Chemical, physical, and biological agents at Alcoa locations through our manufacturing processes, operations, or products.
  • Work-related injuries that may be triggered or exacerbated by non-workplace factors.
  • Acute and chronic diseases that may be associated with, or impacted by, workplace factors.
 
Once health risks have been identified, we systematically eliminate or control these risks. We establish and track long-term and incremental targets to quantitatively monitor progress toward achieving our stated goals and the ideal of zero. Global cross-functional lead teams are frequently established to address specific target issues, such as ergonomics.
