Employee development
The Company believes that, the evolution of its employees relies on the continuous improvement of their skills and performance.
In ALUMINIUM S.A., employees can improve their professional skills and their performance by:
- Taking advantage of the education and training opportunities which the Company provides or which they obtain on their own.
- Expanding their work experiences in the performance of their tasks.
- Participating in group work mechanisms such as Continuous Improvement Groups, Functional Organisational Units (FOUs) etc.
In 2011, nearly 84% of employees were evaluated through the Professional Improvement Review Process that the Company applies. The components of this
process and its objectives were presented in detail in the Sustainability Report 2010 and are not described again here, as for ALUMINIUM S.A. this is a standard
practice and mechanism.

Occupational Health & Safety
Highly aware of the need to protect human life, ALUMINIUM S.A. is giving priority to the development of accident forecasting and prevention measures. However,
in 2011 the "ZERO ACCIDENTS" target was not achieved, as a total of seven (7) accidents occurred, of which two (2) led to temporary interruption of work and
five (5) did not. The accidents with temporary interruption of work involved to injuries in the limbs (hand) sustained by employees: the first one occurred during
Company work in the Port area and the other in the alumina production line. The accidents without interruption of work involved various injuries, mainly in the
limbs (hand) of employees, and occurred in various stages of the alumina production line and in aluminium maintenance.
The respective Company Units (Port, Alumina Production, Casting and Aluminium Maintenance) analysed each incident separately using the "Cause Tree Analysis
Method" and established the reasons that caused them. The conclusions from the analysis also served to plan relevant corrective actions (with a person in charge, a
deadline and a completion date specified for each one of them), with a view to informing employees and to preventing any conditions which could cause such accidents
to happen again from arising. According to the accident analyses, the key reasons that caused the accidents were the following: (a) unclear communications; (b) wrong
position of employee during work; (c) underestimation of the risk; (d) failure to identify the risk; (e) slippery load; and (f) failure to properly secure the machinery.
