The well-being of our employees is a priority at Siemens. Aiming to maintain a healthy and safe working environment for our employees, Siemens has a comprehensive health and safety programme in place. The primary goal is to minimise any potential risks that may result in injury or disease affecting our employees or in damage to property and equipment.
Thanks to tough and innovative health and safety requirements in our plants and offices, we have a good workplace safety record and low accident figures. In fiscal 2006, we engaged in a wide range of initiatives to continue implementing our global occupational health and safety guidelines. We will roll out a new worldwide health and safety reporting system in fiscal 2008.
Siemens has also implemented a corporate wellness programme that encourages employees to actively participate in one of our sports clubs, which cater for a variety of interests ranging from cycling, cricket, soccer, golf and hiking through to road running, scuba diving and tennis.
