Workplace Injury & Illness

GE’s goal is to continuously improve on injury and illness reduction. In 2010, GE’s Global Total Recordable Rate decreased 3.5% to 1.11 injuries per 100 employees and the Company’s Global Lost Time Rate decreased by 11% to 0.31 cases per 100 employees. Overall, since 1996, we have achieved an 80% reduction in workplace injuries and illnesses and a 77% reduction in lost-time cases.

GE was saddened to have three work-related fatalities in 2010: two employees and one contractor. In each case, GE conducted a thorough analysis and has aggressively addressed any issues arising from that analysis.
