	Summary SHE Management System Current status We have a very strong health and safety culture. There are robust policies across the board, which are the bedrock of our business. Challenges We still want to reach the point where we have no incidents and must keep analysing incidents and taking preventative action. We implement health and safety management systems that are consistent with the internationally recognised standard, OHSAS 18001, and we are totally committed to continuous improvement in our health and safety performance. We use a range of metrics to measure health and safety performance, which are described in more detail in the expanded report published here. Our goal in 2004 was to improve in all these areas and we made further progress in reducing overall accident rates, although our target for at least 10 per cent improvement was only achieved in one of the two rates reported. In the other rate, there was a 4 per cent improvement In real terms, 104 fewer people suffered a lost time injury in 2004 than in 2003. Despite this progress, we also faced tragedy when, in eight incidents, nine people lost their lives. Details of each of these incidents are set out in the following pages. As we strive for a goal of zero incidents, we report not just those incidents where we can take preventative action, but those that occur off AMEC sites, like the death of a sub-contractor's employee in Belgium who was working on an AMEC site but was killed by an unrelated gas explosion outside AMEC’s site.
