The safety principles and programmes implemented across all the managed operations of Anglo Platinum are showing positive results with a further reduction in the lost time injury frequency rate achieved during the first quarter of 2009 to 1.44 per 200,000 hours worked, compared to 1.52 in the fourth quarter of 2008 and 1.82 in the first quarter of 2008. This was supported by the notable achievement of 7 million fatality free shifts at Union Mine, a mining industry milestone.
