2006 Sustainability Report - Coca-Cola Amatil

Health and Safety
Each country of operation now
has a designated Occupational
Health and Safety (OHS)
representative responsible for
improving OHS performance.
Australia
There has been significant
improvement in OHS performance
over the last few years. Our safety
culture has strengthened and the
OHS Management System (OHSMS)
is increasingly embedded in operating
practices. CCA Australia is targeting
AS4801 accreditation by the end of 2008.
A key to the improvement has
been a strong commitment from
the Australian Executive Team which
reviews OHS performance monthly.
CCA Australia has reduced injury rates,
due to our focus in the following areas:
• Implementing plans to reduce high
risks areas such as cash handling
(e.g. armed hold-up training),
contractor management, forklift and
traffic management plans, machine
guarding and manual handling.
• Implementing Corrective
Action registers.
• Training employees in their
responsibilities and risk management
processes in order to change the
culture around OHS, and to make
safety part of what we do everyday.
SPC Ardmona
SPCA has reduced its LTIFR by 50%
over the last 3 years, thanks to a
fundamental shift in focus to target
workplace safety. Strategies included
improved injury management
techniques, training of Return to Work
co-ordinators, more safety training, a
pro-active rehabilitation program and
the development of a workplace
culture where all employees take
responsibility for safety.
Building on that recent success, the
focus for SPCA in the next 12 months
will be on the implementation of and
compliance with the CCA Australia
OHSMS. SPCA has also committed
to the introduction of an Emergency
Management System at its three sites.
SPCA instituted a trial program with
chiropractors from the Soft Tissue
Centre to focus on Return to Work and
management of long term injuries to
reduce average time lost.
New Zealand
CCA launched a ‘10,000 Step
Challenge’ which encouraged
employees to walk 10,000 steps per
day. Around 750 employees from a
total employee base of just over 1,000
participated. The promotion of a
healthier lifestyle saw many benefits,
in particular many of the participants
lost significant amounts of weight.
New Zealand also worked towards
gaining ‘tertiary accreditation’ status
with the Accident Compensation
Corporation.
Fiji
CCA Fiji continues to implement
its OHS management systems.
Indonesia
Each unit operation has now
appointed a local OHS manager
to implement initiatives which
include an OHSMS, OHS reporting
system, and the development of
employees’safety awareness. More
than 6,500 employees attended Safety
Awareness training.
All plants were audited by the
Indonesian Government and received
the highest award for OHS, the
Golden Flag certificate.
A new policy – No Helmet, No Entry –
was introduced in June 2006, whereby
all CCA Indonesia employees who
drive company motorbikes are
required to wear a helmet at all times,
and all employees, contractors and
visitors entering company premises on
a motorbike are also required to wear
a helmet.
South Korea
OHS audits were conducted at all
sites and actions put in place to
improve OHS, which included:
rear cameras installed on all trucks;
implementation of methods to reduce
lifting injuries; increased participation
in OHS training programs; and
implementation of improved
personal protective equipment.
