Continuing to strive for a healthy and safe workplace.
Visteon set aggressive 2009 goals for health and safety performance to maintain the protection of our workforce as a top priority. Health and safety goals included achieving a global lost time case rate of 0.15 and severity rate of 3.0. The company is proud to report the achievement of both goals, as the lost time case rate registered 0.13 and the severity rate fell to 2.68. Both numbers represent double digit percent improvement over already impressive 2008 performance.
In addition, for the third consecutive year, more than 50 percent of all Visteon facilities worldwide achieved zero lost time cases, the top health and safety benchmark for an indvidual plant.
These results continue to demonstrate Visteon's position as a world-class health and safety perfomer regardless of industry.
The company will continue to place the bar very high in 2010, demanding continual improvement of these world-class results.
