2007 Corporate Social Responsibility Report

 

Working Environment

 

Safety and Health

The OfficeMax Code of Business Conduct and Ethics mandates that our operations be conducted in strict conformance with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations, as well as with all OfficeMax corporate policies and best practices pertaining to workplace safety. The existence of unsafe workplace conditions must be immediately reported to a supervisor or the Corporate Compliance Officer.

In 2007, OfficeMax laid the groundwork for our enhanced, systems-based Safety and Health Plan scheduled for implementation in 2008, by developing organizational practices that are considered leading indicators of effective safety and health management.

Also in 2007, we identified areas to improve incident reporting and tracking, and developed a new safety metric, the “Safety Severity Index,” to be introduced in 2008.
