The company recorded its best-ever safety performance in 2012, and although employees and contractors worked a total of 7.5 million work hours, there were no fatalities and a lost-time injury frequency (LTIF) rate of 0.27 per million work hours was achieved - significantly lower than the industry average of 0.48.
