The safety of those who work with us

Our target of zero work-related injuries and illnesses extends to those who work with us.

We are committed to the safety of all our workforce, not only direct employees. In 2008/09, there were 108 contractor lost time injuries compared with 105 in 2007/08 and 131 in 2006/07.

Data prior to 2008/09 does not include KeySpan, so is not directly comparable.

We are very sad to report there have been 3 contractor fatalities in the US: 2 contractors died following an incident while using a drilling rig and 1 died after coming into contact with an energised electricity line.
