The Group's health and safety policy is implemented in several stages. Sites begin by identifying potential risks and assessing possible exposure to these risks. They then launch corrective action, to eliminate the risk if possible (e.g. by substituting a harmless product for a hazardous one or automating a handling operation) or at least minimize it as far as possible, using protective gear, procedures or better operator training.

For 2006, the Group LTI/D (lost time injury/days for every million hours worked) came to 5.9, down 17% on 2004 and the severity rate (SR) to 0.28.
