PDO has management systems in place to ensure that all potential health and safety hazards associated with its activities are identified and assessed and that appropriate countermeasures are implemented. Put simply, PDO realizes that protecting the health of its workforce is good for its business. Obviously, employees who are ill, experiencing discomfort or otherwise incapacitated will be unable to satisfactorily perform their jobs. By keeping its staff and contractors in sound shape, the Company also improves their morale. A fit and healthy workforce thus provides the solid base from which the Company can meet its performance targets. In addition, a good health and safety management system is the best way for the Company to guard itself against undue legal compensation claims and medical-insurance costs. Finally, the Company takes measures to safeguard the health of its workforce because it values its reputation for being a caring and fair employer.

Our efforts in this area are demonstrated by our Total Recordable Illnesses Frequency records shown in the graph. It shows that the company has seen a great improvement over the past nine years in the total recordable occupational illnesses per million man hours.

To promote health and fitness, PDO arranges Health Awareness Campaigns on a variety of topics. Sports facilities are also provided in all PDO locations, giving employees opportunities to engage in a variety of fitness-improving activities, including weight-lifting, exercising, football, tennis and squash. PDO also organized a Wellness Walk in 2005 to encourage its employees to be active and healthy.
