Target met      √√ Target exceeded      X Target not met


* Target was not achieved due to the occurrence of two Lost Time Injuries for Melbourne Water employees
** Target was not achieved due to the occurrence of four Lost Time Injuries for Melbourne Water contractors
*** Target was not achieved because of a leaking cooling tower and an increased proportion of employees taking showers after walking or cycling to work
**** Target was not achieved. The 2006/07 baseline was calculated as a result of a one-day audit in June 2006. Increased auditing this year has enabled a more comprehensive assessment of Melbourne Water’s office waste practices over the year, leading to a new and higher baseline for 2008/09 and beyond
***** Target was not achieved despite a range of initiatives. An energy audit will help identify areas for improvement.
