5.4.3. Workplace Accidents and Occupational Diseases
Frequency Rate of Workplace Accidents
(with Work Days Lost)
Historically speaking, at Vivendi, the rate of workplace accidents
remains moderate. In 2013, the frequency of workplace accidents (with
work days lost) fell noticeably. Fluctuations are attributable chiefly to the
increase in the number of telephone infrastructure employees at GVT,
where the business lines are more exposed to risks.
It should be noted that a slight difference in absolute data in the smaller
structures can lead to a significant variation in relative values.

Calculation
method:
Number of workplace accidents resulting
in lost work time x 1,000,000
Average annual headcount x annual hours
worked (estimated at 1,750 for the Group)
Severity Rate of Workplace Accidents (with Work Days Lost)
In 2013, the severity rate of workplace accidents (with lost work
time) in the Group fell sharply (a decrease of 36%), in particular due
to the measures taken by GVT in 2013 to reduce the risk of accidents
in the field.
As for the previous indicator, a slight difference in absolute data
in the smaller structures can lead to a significant variation
in relative values.

Occupational Diseases
In France, occupational diseases are the ones officially reported and
recognized by the French Social Security scheme. In other countries,
occupational diseases are defined in accordance with local laws or, if
no such local laws exist, by the International Labor Organization (ILO)

* The Group’s business segments have little exposure to occupational diseases.
Brazilian legislation gives a broad interpretation of this concept, which
explains the result for 2013 and 95% of the result for 2012.
