workplace health
ExxonMobil operations depend on a healthy workforce. We take health issues seriously, whether work-related or not, that impact our workforce wherever we operate in the world. Based on ExxonMobil’s internal guidance for reporting illnesses, which draws on U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recordkeeping regulation, there were 41 work-related illness cases among our employees in 2007. Of these cases, two led to lost work time. The main causes of our illness cases were repetitive stress injuries and hearing impairment. We employ a number of programs and metrics to identify and manage work-related illnesses, including those not captured by OSHA recordkeeping guidance.
ExxonMobil has the most comprehensive Malaria Control Program of any operator in Africa, covering both employees and contractors.
Our comprehensive workplace HIV/AIDS program, StopAIDS, combines risk mitigation education with access to community-based care and treatment.
In developing countries, ExxonMobil employs a strategic management approach to track employee health and to develop prevention programs and health care services to respond to emerging health issues in a timely manner.
