Zero work-related injuries and illnesses have been long-standing goals for Alcoa. But when zero first became the target, it seemed unreachable; "accidents are inevitable" was often the response.
They're not. We can attain zero. It is possible, and, in many locations, it is already here thanks to dedicated effort and a firm commitment to our core values, one of which is to work safely every day in a manner that protects our employees, contractors, customers, and the communities where we operate.
In the 12-month period ending April 30, 2012:
| 33.3% of Alcoa's 180 locations worldwide had zero total recordable injuries; 50.6% had zero days away, restricted, or transferred; and 68.9% had zero lost workdays. |
|
99.3% of our employees had zero days away, restricted, or transferred. |
|
99.9% of our employees had zero lost workdays. |
Working in teams and as individuals, we can build on this outstanding effort—and see zero extended to every Alcoa location, every day.
