12 / GRUNDFOS SUSTAINABILITY PROGRESS REPORT 2015 Workplace At Grundfos, we want a safe and positive physical and psychological work environment, where innovation and personal development can flourish. This includes the safety, health, diversity and well-being of our employees Health and Safety In 2015 Lost time injuries ratio increased by 10% compared to 2014. Absence due to those injuries increased as well, from 0.54 hours per 1000 workhours to 0.88. There should be no doubt that this is not acceptable. This is also the reason why we have introduced a new health and safety standard. The standard covers all of Grundfos, including production, sales and service employees working outside Grundfos premises. To ensure that Grundfos employees focus on safety, each company has assigned at least one employee responsible for health and safety. Through intensive training, the appointed officer has a thorough understanding of Grundfos health and safety standards. Furthermore, the responsible health and safety officers drive local health and safety processes such as risk assessments, safety walks and near-miss assessments. We will continue in 2016 to develop health and safety skills among our employees. With increased focus on near-miss reporting, safety walks and accident handling, we believe that Grundfos can take important steps to become a safer and healthier workplace. Diversity To achieve a truly innovative environment so Grundfos can maintain its position as a trendsetter within water technology, we need to have a diverse workforce.
