Health and safety Aguas de Antofagasta 77 We have a constructive relationship with the two labour unions representing around 65% of our employees. We are transparent in our labour negotiations and aim to address employee concerns before they escalate. Aguas de Antofagasta continues to adhere to the collective agreements signed in 2009 and 2010 with our two unions. These set out our commitment to act as a responsible employer and to meet all our legal and contractual obligations with regards to pay, social provision and employee benefits. There were no industrial disputes in 2011. We encourage employees and contractors to take an active role in protecting their own health and wellbeing. In 2011 we worked with contractors to revise their risk management procedures. We introduced a standardised approach to identifying and managing risks according to their risk level, considering criteria such as the size of the task, the magnitude of the risk, the number of contractors employed and the type of work involved. We agreed improvement plans for each contractor company with progressive targets, appropriate to the size and capacity of each company. In 2011 we continued to improve our safety record. Our accident frequency rate reduced from 5.6 in 2010 to 5.1 in 2011. We investigate all accidents and share lessons through dedicated monthly meetings.

Our revised Occupational Health and Safety plans are helping us achieve this goal. As well as sharing best practice information, our new approach introduces monthly evaluations of contractors’ health and safety performance against our standards. It provides contractors with a framework for continuous improvement. The changes are communicated to employees and contractors through monthly meetings, refresher workshops and training.
