Fatalities
Despite our tremendous efforts, we are saddened to report
that in 2015 eight employees and two contractors lost their
lives while at work at Nestlé.
Road traffic accidents while driving for official work remain
a major cause of fatalities. Four of our employees lost their
lives in road accidents. We are committed to improving this
situation and it remains a focus area for us at a global level.
This year, we have made a step change to address this
important area by significantly enhancing our mandatory
requirements for safer driving. More information can be
found here.
Two employees lost their lives while doing an intervention
on machinery. We will continue to strengthen our machinery
safety programme. More information can be found here.
In 2015, two of our employees died in a fall of an elevator in
an office building. One contractor, unfortunately, died due to
failure of the structure of a sliding access gate that fell on the
contractor while it was being operated. One contractor lost his
life during an excavation activity at a construction site.
To prevent future reoccurrences, we will continue to focus on
our contractor management and management of high-hazard
tasks. More information can be found here.
We carry out a detailed investigation for every fatality,
involving a cross-functional team and local senior
management. The results are reviewed at a Group level to
ensure that the whole company learns from the incident. As a
result of the review, we regularly publish an internal global
alert. This global alert contains key learnings, as well as
guidance on actions to be undertaken by sites to prevent
reoccurrence. It is widely circulated and published on our
intranet site for easy access and reference.
We remain committed to achieving our goal of zero workrelated
injuries and illnesses, despite the size of our company
or the scope of our operations.
