Throughout 2011 we continued to emphasize health and
safety training for all employees, including specific courses for
different aspects of work. We more than doubled our health
and safety training team, from seven to thirteen trainers. We
also made significant progress in the area of emergency
preparedness and response training, including crisis
management, firefighting and evacuation drills.
We endeavour to provide timely information related to
diseases that may affect our employees and community. For
example, we offered a specific course on legionnaires’ disease
for employees who may encounter risks related to this disease
in their work. We also covered public health topics in our
regular health and safety meetings. Material and information
was distributed or posted on-site related to diseases such as
malaria and conjunctivitis. Our HIV/AIDS program also offered
targeted education and prevention activities to both employees
and the communities. For more information on the latter, see
the Community Development section.
