Specifi c  interventions have been identifi ed to  steepen the improvement trend to  achieve our target RCR of below 0,30  by 2013. There was an average of fi ve signifi cant  process safety incidents reported per  month during the 2010 fi nancial year,  representing the number of fi res,  explosions and releases (FERs). Due to  the increased focus on, and awareness  of, process safety during recent years,  the reporting of FERs has been more  complete. The revised target is to reduce  the number of significant FERs to less  than three per month by 2013. There was an increase in the number of  significant transport incidents in 2010 and  interventions at Sasol and with transport  service providers have been implemented  to improve transport safety. Over the past year there has been  a particular focus on improving the  quality and standardisation of incident  investigations to identify root causes.  Key safety learnings have been identifi ed  and shared across all operational areas.

Our occupational health services –  provided both to employees and service  providers – include baseline analysis,  ongoing monitoring and management  of illnesses, the adoption of preventative  measures, the development of  rehabilitation and return-to-work  programmes and the management  of compensation claims and payments  We offer pre-employment health  assessments to ensure that employees  and service providers are not placed in  positions that will have a negative impact  on their health and we undertake medical  surveillance on risk-exposed workers.

A severity index to  differentiate all FERs has been developed  and implemented to assist with the  process safety improvement drive.  The SH&E function has also been part  of the Functional Excellence journey  in Sasol and this has involved the  reorganisation of roles and structures.  The objective is to improve the effi ciency  and effectiveness of the SH&E function  and to improve SH&E performance  within the group. F urther details on our safety  performance and on the measures  being taken to improve this  performance are included in our  sustainable development report,  along with a benchmark of our  performance against that of leading  peers in our sector.
