About this report

Communicating safety Keeping employees informed about relevant policies, processes, and regulatory com- pliance issues is central to our EHS strategy. In 2015, Hewlett-Packard Company offered employees more than 900 instructor-led trainings on environment, health, and safety (EHS), and had over 50,000 enrollments for more than 100 web-based trainings in this area. The company also developed a new EHS training specifically for managers. HP will continue engaging employees through various trainings in 2016. To protect our global workforce, we continually monitor the spread of communicable dis- eases and develop contingency plans for our employees. When incidents arise, we work to ensure that employees have the best information as quickly as possible. An internal team collaborates with external experts, and benchmarks against other leaders. In 2015, Hewlett-Packard Company reported on 17 different health advisories, including chicken pox and shingles, Ebola, and measles. Early in 2016 we added information about the Zika virus to our health advisory bulletin. Improving ergonomics training Ergonomic injuries are the second leading cause of lost workdays and recordable injuries at HP, and we anticipate that this will continue to be the case. We train office employees and those who manually handle materials in ergonomic best practice, and work to miti- gate these risks. In 2015, all new Hewlett-Packard Company employees were assessed for ergonomic risks. Our training was also available online for the first time, and updated to include personal devices. HP will continue to assess and engage nearly all new em- ployees on ergonomic risks. Performance in 2015 Across our offices, productions facilities, warehouses, and laboratories, we maintained a low accident and injury rate in 2015. Our global lost workday case rate was 0.06 and the recordable incident rate was 0.14. The top three categories of work-related injuries at HP related to slips, trips, and falls (representing 42% of lost workdays in 2015), and to ergonomic issues in offices (13%) and when struck by/against/cut by issues (13%). We continue working to identify the causes of accidents and prevent them from occurring. View Data for more detail.
