Policy

• “EADS considers that protection of the health and safety of employees in the work-place is key and a top priority for the Group.
• EADS is committed to maintaining safe and healthy working conditions for its employees. It is EADS BUs’ and subsidiaries’ role to implement Health and Safety policies based on evaluation, anticipation and risk management and taking into account all specificities as well as people’s needs.”

Organisation and Performances

The management of Health and Safety is essentially dealt with at site level and it accordingly allows that prevention and protection measures for employees, contractors and partners can be defined and implemented to meet specific requirements of each work place.

Reporting on health and safety obeys national regulations according to the sites’ locations.

However some health and safety indicators have started to be drawn up at the Division or BU level which mainly address work related accidents.

As an example of the Group performances, the incidence and severity rates of reportable accidents (work related accidents causing an absence of more than 3 days) recorded at Airbus, noticeably decreased from 2004 to 2006, while in the same period aircraft deliveries increased.
