Employee Safety and
Wellness Are Top Priorities
Preventing injury and illness at work is an everyday focus — whether someone is in the corporate
office or on the front lines of a manufacturing facility.
PEOPLE
Safety Efforts Achieve Gold Rating
Safety is paramount at Clorox and we’re proud of our strong safety record. We strive to maintain
a safe working environment for our employees, and to operate and maintain all facilities and
equipment in a manner that will protect the safety of employees and the public.
The Corporate Health, Safety & Environment organization is responsible for assisting line
management in achieving our safety goals. This includes providing support tools and resources,
periodic evaluation of safety and health programs and recommendations for improvement.
Every Clorox supervisor in our manufacturing plants and other nonoffice locations is responsible
for providing a work environment with safe operating equipment and safety training for every
employee, as well as ensuring employees comply with safety rules and procedures. Each supervisor
also has the responsibility, through personal example and involvement, to create a climate in which
everyone shares a concern for their own safety and the safety of their fellow workers.
Our safety performance over the past four years has been at world-class levels. In fiscal year 2010,
Clorox had an overall recordable injury rate of 0.81*, versus the 1.0 world-class level. We continue
to strive for zero incidents.
Clorox completed fiscal year 2010 with zero Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
noncompliance fines, due to our ability to complete all regulatory tasks in a timely manner.

Safety is measured in accordance with U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics instructions for calculating recordable injury rates.
