Total Recordable Injuries and Illnesses
More detail available >

(Recordable injuries per 200,000 hours worked)
**Excludes injuries/illnesses that do not meet DuPont criteria for measuring safety performance 1998 through 2005 (estimated) Injury/Illness statistics for employees reflect expanded reporting of cumulative musculoskeletal disorders. Comparative statistics are not available for years prior to 1998. |
Global Carcinogenic Air Emissions
More detail available >

(Millions of Pounds)
Data indicate a 92% reduction of air carcinogen emissions since 1987. |
Significant Environmental, Process and Transportation Incidents
More detail available >

A Major SHE Incident is a significant environmental, process or transportation incident by DuPont definition. Incidents that meet both Environmental and Process definitions are counted as single Major SHE Incidents. Fire incidents not included before 2004. |
Global Greenhouse Gases
