AMD’s goal is to continuously reduce occupational injury and illness case rates. In 2011 our worldwide case rate increased from 0.17 in 2010 to 0.32 cases per 100 workers in 2011, but is well below U.S. OSHA rates. The greatest increase is attributed to ergonomic-related injuries due in part to increased employee awareness of ergonomic issues – a result of a campaign at AMD over the past year. We are working on an improved process for providing ergonomic equipment and furniture, ensuring employees are properly educated on the use and adjustment of their workstations, and increased employee awareness and training to address concerns in the early stages.
