Health & Safety Overview
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 belief that safety is the highest internal priority.
As of Tuesday, January 06, 2009, 14:45 Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), Alcoa's lost workday rate for 2009 stands at 0.000. Alcoa calculates and publishes this rate in real time. It represents the number of injuries and illnesses resulting in one or more days away from work with or without days of job transfer or restrictions per 100 full-time workers.
In the 12-month period ending December 31, 2008:
