Health & Safety Performance
Foster's has committed to making information on its health and safety performance publicly available.
Health and Safety performance at Foster's is measured by two key indicators:
Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate and Recordable Case Injury Frequency Rate
In August 2007, Foster's set a performance target to decrease RCIFR by 10% annually, on 2007 levels
As reported in the 2007 Foster's Sustainability Report, the graph below shows a decrease in both indicators compared with last year, but more importantly, a consistent downward trend over five years.
