BASF Corporate Health Management
A company’s success is greatly dependent on its employees' performance, work
satisfaction, and commitment for innovation. A healthy workforce is the basis for
productivity and profitability. Workplace health promotion has a significant role
to play in reducing individual health risks and providing the resources to promote
health as an ongoing process.
We see Global Health Promotion as a corporate strategy, which aims at prevention of chronic diseases and enhancing health promoting potentials and wellbeing in the workforce.
On an international level, the Occupational Medicine & Health Protection Department has an important role in functional leadership and global governance in
terms of health management in all regions where BASF sites are located. In the
last years, there has been an increasing demand for health promotion activities
in all BASF group companies worldwide.

Within BASF, we have a successfully working health management system.
The preventive health needs are based on an analysis of the annual BASF health
reports and occupational health examinations. Health promotion activities can
then be planned for specific target groups, such as employees with certain health
risks, employees at a specific workplace or the entire site. BASF preventive health
activities and health promotion campaigns are structured and scientifically analyzed for quality assurance and to measure the success of each campaign.

Global BASF Health Promotion Campaigns
Since 2008, the Occupational Medicine & Health Promotion Department – together with BASF’s global medical team – has been organizing global health
campaigns on an annual basis. This ensures standardization and promotes
health in all regions where BASF sites are located.

Scientific Evaluation of Health Promotion
Activities BASF has been providing health seminars for employees alongside the regular
health promotion activities. Such complementary programs have proven to be
more effective in eliciting long-term health outcomes than one-time only or shortterm interventions.
In a systematic retrospective cohort analysis (Ott et al., 2010), it was demonstrated that employees who attended the BASF health seminars in addition to
the regular occupational health surveillance examinations, medical consultations
and health promotion programs, showed changes in health awareness and behavior, leading to overall health benefits. The most notable benefit was a significant
reduction in mortality rates among the participants. Health seminar attendance
also appeared to have been instrumental in motivating employees to participate
in other health promotion activities (see attachment 5).

Management Process
According to corporate guidelines and internal policies, all BASF employees are
guaranteed medical and preventive health services. The “BASF Group Directive
Occupational Medicine & Health Protection”, part of the BASF RC Management
System, states the underpinning principles of health management in the BASF
Group, fosters the integration of health awareness and health management into
business processes and defines our performance standards. One of these performance standards is health promotion, prevention and rehabilitation.
RESPONSIBLE CARE
G L O B A L C H A RT E R
Responsible Care
®
In order to ensure that these standards are met, the annual target agreements of
BASF RC managers include a health promotion aspect, such as the implementation of the global health campaign. Health promotion and the overall health
performance of all BASF sites and group companies are measured annually using
the BASF Health Performance Index (HPI, see attachment 6) and periodically during the RC Occupational Medicine & Health Protection Audits to ensure sustainability and continuous improvement. Health promotion performance is one of
the KPIs in our managment system, regularly evaluated and reported to the upper
BASF management to ensure sustainability and continuous improvement.

Key Messages
BASF’s Occupational Medicine and Health Protection Department puts Responsible Care policies to action that goes far beyond legal requirements
and compliance. Our health promotion activities aim to ensure equally high
standards of health at all BASF sites worldwide.
Global BASF Health Promotion Campaigns, which are designed and coordinated centrally by the Occupational Medicine & Health Protection Department and implemented in all regions where BASF sites are located, is
especially instrumental in supporting smaller BASF sites where no or little
medical expertise. This assures that health promotion activities are also
available to these employees.
Key corporate benefits are:
- to contribute to the overall health and productivity of the workforce
- t o reinforce the BASF Group presence and networking through communications and exchange of expertise
- to contribute to BASF Branding as an attractive employer
- to reduce global health risks (e.g. demographic risks)
The health of the workforce is a sustainable resource. To ensure this sustainability, annual health promotion campaigns are an integral part of BASF
health management. Organizing annual campaigns require regular needs
analyses, long-term planning, flexibility in adapting campaigns to the local
culture and expertise in campaign evaluation and reporting.
The BASF Global Health Promotion Campaigns are communicated using
many types of media: Intranet, Posters, Flyers, Blackboards, online-reporter, BASF print Media, etc. Management support is guaranteed by including
health promotion issues into the annual target agreements.

First global health campaign "Smoke-free 2008"
(Attachment 1)
For the first time BASF is promoting a health campaign around the world: 1,578
employees from 126 different BASF sites gave up smoking 870,000 cigarettes.
In Germany , the Occupational Medicine and Health Protection department of
BASF organized and implemented "Smoke-free 2008" together with the German
Cancer Research Center and the company health insurance fund pronova BKK.
Around the world, the Group companies and sites belonging to the BASF Group
could simply adopt the campaign.
Worldwide the health consequences of active or passive smoking are one of the
major health risks. The campaign's challenge and goal was to sustainably promote non-smoking throughout all BASF sites taking into account all the different
local conditions in the multiplicity of countries and cultures.
Smoke-free 2008
10.000 € to be won!
A non-smoking campaign

The motto for realizing the campaign was "coordinate global, act local". Following this motto, "Smoke-free 2008" was implemented in 39 countries.
All campaigns had the common goal for employees to quit smoking for good for
at least one month. The campaign's concept included, e.g., a competition with a
raffle and, in some countries, successful participation was tested by a urinalysis.
In Germany , USA and several other countries, lucky winners received a cash
reward. In Spain and Turkey a wellness weekend was on offer, in China an MP3
player was drawn. BASF Antwerp donated money to the Belgian Cancer Society
for each employee taking part, totaling 5,000 Euros.
The evaluation of the data of all participants worldwide showed that "Smokefree 2008" involved all employee groups. 42% of the employees stated to work
in production, 29% in offices, and 29% had miscellaneous workplaces. 37% of
the participants are shift workers. Fortunately, especially heavy smokers could
be addressed. More than 70% of the participants declared to smoke at least 10
to 20 cigarettes per day.
A survey of participants in the non-smoking campaign at Ludwigshafen in 2003
showed that after three years 40% were still non-smokers. People taking part
in this year's campaign will be asked after a year about how the campaign has
changed their smoking habits.
The most important part of the campaign included supportive and informative
measures for smoking cessation. At many sites the campaign was integrated into
already existing activities or the signal for further smoking cessation measures.
At the Ludwigshafen site, follow-up projects have already been implemented. In
China , the campaign was integrated into a scientifically accompanied smoking
cessation program.
By the common approach many new ideas could be gathered and exchanged
all around the world. "The experience gained with 'Smoke-free 2008' will also
be very useful for future global health prevention campaigns" said Dr. Henning
Thiele who coordinated this worldwide campaign.

Gesundheitliche Schäden durch Tabak und
Passivrauchen
Rauchstopp lohnt sich
Here are some tips for quitting:
Die gesundheitlichen Schäden durch das Rauchen sind jedermann bekannt, aber die Beendigung des Tabakkonsums lohnt
sich schon nach kurzer Zeit:
Durch die aktuelle gesellschaftliche Diskussion ist das Thema
Nichtraucherschutz in aller Munde. Das Nichtrauchergesetz
sieht u. a. ein Rauchverbot in öffentlichen Gebäuden und
außerhalb abgetrennter Raucherräume in größeren Gaststätten vor.

Concentrate on the health and personal advantages not
smoking will give you.

Work out how much money you save if you do not smoke
for one month,or one year and then think about what you
could spend the money you have saved on.

Dispose of your smoking utensils (cigarette boxes, lighters
and ashtrays).

Let your buddy support you, by making a date to go swimming or jogging for example.


Avoid places that you used to get your cigarettes from.

Get advice from your doctor, your pharmacist or experts on
withdrawal.
Nach 20 Minuten
Der Blutdruck sinkt nahezu auf einen Wert wie vor der letzten
Zigarette. Die Temperatur in Händen und Füßen steigt wieder
auf normale Werte.
Auch am Arbeitsplatz sind in Deutschland immer noch
8,5 Millionen nichtrauchende Erwerbstätige Passivrauch
ausgesetzt. An den Folgen des Passivrauchens sterben in
Deutschland jährlich mehr als 3.000 Nichtraucher. Darum
wurde Passivrauch als krebserzeugender Stoff der höchsten
Kategorie eingestuft.
Nach 8 Stunden
Der Kohlenmonoxid-Spiegel im Blut sinkt auf normale Werte.
Nach 24 Stunden
Das Risiko von Herzanfällen verringert sich.
Zigarettenrauchen ist die häufigste vermeidbare Ursache
für einen frühzeitigen Tod in den westlichen Ländern. Die
Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) schätzt, dass über vier
Millionen Todesfälle weltweit pro Jahr auf den Tabakkonsum
zurückzuführen sind. Einer von zwei Langzeitrauchern wird
an seinen Gewohnheiten sterben. Allein in Deutschland
sterben Schätzungen zufolge jedes Jahr 100.000 – 140.000
Menschen vorzeitig an Erkrankungen, die auf das Rauchen
zurückzuführen sind.
Nach 2 Wochen bis 3 Monaten
Die Kreislaufsituation und die Lungenfunktion verbessern sich.
You can reduce these by using nicotine gum, patches,
lozenges. You can get information on additional medicinal withdrawal aids from your family doctor or your pharmacist.
Hustenanfälle, Verstopfung der Nasennebenhöhlen, Müdigkeit
und Kurzatmigkeit gehen zurück. Die Flimmerhärchen der
Atemwege gewinnen wieder ihre Reinigungsfähigkeit, so dass
eine normale Lungenfunktion erreicht wird. Die Infektanfälligkeit
wird vermindert.

Der suchterzeugende Stoff im Tabakrauch ist das Nikotin.
Neben der Entwicklung einer Abhängigkeit sind weitere
gesundheitliche Folgen durch das Nikotin bekannt: Kopfschmerzen, Schwindel, Schlaflosigkeit, Nervosität, Zittern,
Herzklopfen, Mundtrockenheit, Verdauungsbeschwerden,
Übelkeit, Erbrechen, Durchfall sowie Gelenk- und Muskelschmerzen. Längerfristig fördert Nikotin die Entstehung von
Bluthochdruck, von Magen- und Zwölffingerdarmgeschwüren
und verzögert die Wundheilung.

Quit Smoking Competition for trainees and

Name:
Beim Rauchen von Zigaretten bildet sich der Hauptstromrauch, der von den Rauchern in den Mund eingesogen wird,
und der Nebenstromrauch (Passivrauch). Tabakrauch enthält
4.800 Chemikalien, darunter rund 70 krebserzeugende
Stoffe und eine Vielzahl giftiger Substanzen. Rauchen erhöht
das Risiko für Atemwegsinfekte, chronische Bronchitis sowie
Gefäßerkrankungen wie Herzinfarkt und Schlaganfall. Das
Risiko an Lungenkrebs zu erkranken ist bei männlichen
Rauchern 17 - 20 mal höher als bei Nichtrauchern.

Steps to Health 2009 (Attachment 2)
“Steps to Health 2009” – BASF’s second global health campaign - focused on
encouraging physical activity in everyday life. Due to lifestyle changes in all industrialized countries, two thirds of adults aged 18 to 55 do not get enough exercise. They spend around eight hours a day on average in a sitting position and
take 3,000 to 4,000 steps a day, covering a distance of only 1.8 to 2 kilometers.
This is one reason why these countries are showing increasing rates of health
problems such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and damage to the
musculoskeletal system.

Pedometers - or step counters - are light and easy to use and help people to
reach the recommended level of 7,000 to 10,000 steps per day. Measuring steps,
distance, calories and body fat level is a great way to significantly increase motivation.

n Worldwide more than 160 BASF sites took part in the campaign - a total of
23,000 pedometers were distributed.
n At BASF’s second-largest site in Antwerp, 1,710 employees - nearly half of the
site’s workforce - took part. This site also used the personal online journal on
the intranet that was developed at the Ludwigshafen site.
n Northern European countries such as the United Kingdom and the Scandinavi-
an countries organized a competition amongst
n BASF’s Oil & Gas segment, the Wintershall Group, even integrated the Steps to
Health campaign in its official annual health goals and reached a participation
rate of 77% worldwide.
n In the Greater China region and South America, there were also activities such
as walking events, nutrition consulting and fitness classes in the workplace.
n A number of sites in North America also took part, recruiting a total of 3,500
participants.
Worldwide, data from the pedometers of 17,200 participants was collected. The
entire BASF team tallied up almost 11 billion steps, or about seven million kilometers. This distance would be enough to connect all of the participating sites
55 times or to circle the earth 175 times. The BASF team travelled the distance
from the earth to the moon 18 times.

The Occupational Medicine & Health Protection Department had a pivotal function in organizing health management on a global level, assuring that all interventions in the event of a pandemic are standardized, coordinated and consistent at
all levels of the corporate organization.
Templates of pandemic preparedness plans and checklists were provided, designed to suit sites of different sizes and functions, and aligned to the overall
BASF pandemic preparedness plan. In addition, teaching materials on hygiene
topics and the medical background of the influenza infection were offered. BASF
sites worldwide used these materials to inform and train their employees and to
implement all necessary processes relevant for pandemic preparedness. To offer
and to promote vaccination against the seasonal flu was one of the cornerstones
in this campaign.

The vaccination was recommended not only for certain high-risk groups but also
to the entire BASF population in order to stop the spread of the virus as early as
possible and in this way to protect vulnerable employees, family members and
the society in general.
Also to support BASF sites in achieving high participation rates in receiving the
vaccination itself, the Occupational Medicine and Health Protection Department
provided support and materials:
n Provision of advertising material (e.g. campaign logos and posters)
n Centralized support in completion of regional / local advertising material
n Recommendations regarding the choice of vaccines
n Evaluation questionnaire
In total, 294 BASF sites participated in this campaign.
The overall participation rate was approximately 20%. Participation was particularly high in some countries in the Asia/Pacific region such as Thailand, Indonesia
and Pakistan where 95% to 98% of the workforce took part.

How can I protect myself and others from viruses?
• Simple everyday actions are the best prevention.
• Personal hygiene measures are the most important measures to protect the spread of germs.
Coughing and sneezing
Avoid touching any objects or people after you have been coughing or sneezing.
Keep a distance when you cough or
sneeze.
Always use a disposable tissue and throw
it out immediately after use or cough into
your sleeve if you don’t have a tissue.
Avoid direct contact
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth
with unwashed hands.
Avoid greeting people with hugs, kisses
and handshakes. Keep a distance to
other people when having a conversation.
Measures at home
Air out the rooms for 10 minutes three four times a day.
Proper hand-washing
Wash your hands frequently – especially
before preparing food, before and after eating, after using the restroom or when you
come home.
Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly
by holding your hands under running water,
lather and rub with soap – also in between
the fingers – for 20 to 30 seconds, then
carefully rinse and dry your hands.
Stay home
Do not go to work if you have flu-like symptoms (e.g. fever higher than 38 degrees
Celsius, muscle and joint pain, sore
throat).
NICHT
VERGESSEN!
Call your family doctor.
Measures at BASF
Normally there is no need to use disinfectant or wear protective masks to cover the
mouth and nose.
Clean all household surfaces, particularly
night tables, doorknobs and all surfaces
in the bathroom and kitchen, with conventional household cleaners.
Other measures you can take…
• Avoid close contact with people (e.g. crowds, public transport) during flu season. If this is not possible, wash your hands regularly and try to
avoid touching your eyes and nose as much as possible.
• Get the flu vaccination every year. This is particularly recommended for people who are at especially high risk – seniors, children and people
with pre-existing respiratory diseases.
• Keep healthy – a balanced diet, lots of exercise and a health-conscious lifestyle will strengthen your immune system.

Healthyskin@work 2011 is BASF’s 4th global Health promotion campaign which
has been planned and organized by the department for Occupational Medicine
& Health Protection, GUA. Our goals are to reduce the incidence of occupational
dermatitis in all Group companies, to identify skin hazards at BASF workplaces,
to implement occupational skin check-ups by the medical staff on site and to
raise awareness and educate about skin- and sun protection in workplaces and
private life.
Some of our bigger sites will offer skin cancer screenings as an optional and
preventive measure for Health protection. Information materials for all participating sites were distributed via the Country Coordinating Occupational Health
Physicians (CCOHPs) and Responsible - Care - managers around the world. In
addition resources and information material are available at the world wide web
in the GUA Members area:

n The Occupational skin protection requirement is a new guideline for all sites to
set uniform standards for skin protection at the workplace
n Occupational skin protection program is an example of “best practice” show-
ing the collection of skin cleaners and protective cremes
n Information material about skin diseases and skin protection, the sample
poster which can be used by all sites
n Power point presentations on skin protection and sun protection which can be
used by medical doctors or EHS managers on site
n Documentation aid for occupational check-up of skin describing the most
common risks for occupational dermatitis
n a so called “short photo guide” for nurses and medical doctors in which the five
main diagnosis of skin diseases are described
n Excel sheet or access database in which the results can be noted
By using the provided material even small sites are able to participate at the
Healthyskin@work campaign without any costs or additional planning. There are
three different options:
Option 1: hosting “healthyskin@work“ as an information event on the topic “Skin
and Sun Protection”.
Option 2: planning further occupational health examinations on-site, employees
are encouraged to fill in helpful information on risks of skin diseases in the workplace in the provided documentation.
Option 3: including skin cancer screenings by external dermatologists
This option has chosen in Ludwigshafen and several other large BASF sites like
Tarragona (Spain), Antwerp (Belgium), Schwarzheide (Germany), Demarci (South
America) and Nanjing (PR China).
The evaluation of the campaign starts at October 2011. All results will be collected by Regional or Country Coordinating Occupational Health Physicians and
sent to Ludwigshafen.

Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt der Aktion wird daher
das Erkennen schädlicher Wirkung von UV-Strahlung
auf die menschliche Haut sein. In Deutschland erkranken jedes Jahr etwa 195.000 Menschen an dem so
genannten weißen Hautkrebs (Basalzell- oder Stachelzellkrebs). Zusätzlich tritt jährlich bei etwa 24.000 Menschen der besonders gefährliche schwarze Hautkrebs
(malignes Melanom) auf. Dafür wird in vielen Fällen eine
zu intensive Sonneneinstrahlung beim „Sonnenbaden“
in der Freizeit oder im Urlaub, vor allem in südlichen
Ländern, verantwortlich gemacht.

Abstract
Background Integrating general health initiatives into
established occupational health programs may be an eVective way of contributing more broadly to employee health.
Objective assessment of the success of such initiatives is
needed, but is often diYcult to carry out because of their
voluntary nature.
Methods A cohort of 24,586 wage employees, 35+ years
of age and with 15+ years of prior employment, was established to assess morbidity and mortality outcomes relative
to participation in an ongoing health initiative instituted in
1983. Outcomes were evaluated for employees who
attended the seminar program (attendees), those who had
clearance examinations, but did not take part in the program (withdrawals), and non-participants.
Results At entry to follow-up, the prevalence of chronic
illnesses including diabetes, obesity, and diseases of the circulatory system was lowest among non-participants and
highest among withdrawals. During the follow-up period,
the incidence of new disease conditions was similar
between attendees and non-participants; however, overall
mortality was signiWcantly reduced among attendees after
adjustment for explanatory factors including age, job grade,

smoking history, alcohol intake, and body-mass-index (relative risk = 0.83; 95% conWdence interval: 0.69–0.99) and
was still marginally decreased when withdrawals were
combined with attendees.
Conclusions Although self-selection cannot be ruled out
as a contributing factor to the reduction in mortality risk
among attendees, our Wndings indicate that oVering health
promotion activities in the context of an existing occupational health program may beneWt overall employee health.

medicine · Chronic diseases · Mortality
Introduction
In 1983, an agreement was reached between the Works
Council representing employees and the Works Management of BASF SE in Ludwigshafen, Germany, to oVer
additional occupational medical examinations and health
seminars for wage employees assigned to jobs with high
vigilance and physical exertion requirements. It was
thought that the integration of preventive and occupational
health services could provide a beneWt to employee and
employer alike. The health seminar program was designed
to accommodate up to 1,500 participants per year and was
targeted to long-term production or maintenance employees
assigned to jobs involving manual or skilled labor or Wrstline supervision. The job grade of these employees is
roughly equivalent to the lower grade levels examined in
the Whitehall study of civil servants (Marang-van de
Mheen et al. 2001). Because rotating shift work was seen as
involving a high potential for physiological and psychological stress, relatively more places in the program were
reserved for shift-work employees.

Management Process (Attachment 6)
BASF Health Performance Index
BASF as an internationally acting company is committed to the principles of sustainable development and Responsible Care®. We implement the ten principles of the
Global Compact and through our global reports inform our stakeholders and the
general public about the measures taken and goals achieved. Our reporting systems
follow the guidelines and protocols of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). These
guidelines exist to facilitate transparency and accountability by organizations and to
provide stakeholders a universally-applicable, comparable framework from which to
understand disclosed information.
In this context, BASF’s Occupational Medicine & Health Protection (OM&HP) department reports on an annual basis activities and key performance indicators that describe both the general health status of our employees as well as our efforts to
further promote their health and well-being at work and beyond. This annual report
is mainly focused on the Ludwigshafen site but also contains information on BASF
sites worldwide, as far as it is assessed during medical audits (Responsible Care
Audits) carried out by our department. Additional information is mandatorily provided by the sites into BASF’s Responsible Care Database. We had to choose from
this comprehensive report one item to be included into the Global Company Report.
Therefore, as a general measure of occupational health we have in the past calculated and reported a Total Reportable Occupational Illness Frequency Rate (TROIFR).
The TROIFR is based on reported cases of suspected non-latency occupational
diseases from all BASF sites worldwide, standardized to million hours worked. We
were, however, aware that this indicator covers only one aspect of the applicable
GRI reporting standards.

To better comply with the GRI reporting requirements we decided to modify our
reporting system, at the same time taking into account the limitations in space imposed by the requirements for a Global Company Report. To this end we extended
the reporting requirements for the sites to provide additional structured information
on activities falling into the scope of the Indicator Protocols Set LA of the GRI, as far
as they are covered by OM&HP. This includes specifically LA 7 and LA 8. Thus,
beyond occupational disease cases (LA 7), the sites will report compliance with
requirements related to education, training, counseling, prevention, and risk-control
programs in place to assist workforce members, their families, or community members regarding serious diseases.

The HPI thus provides an objective and integrated measure of BASF’s group-wide
health protection performance, including but also going beyond what has been provided through the TRIOFR so far. It will be used to externally report the degree of
implementation of required risk management activities on a global basis, thus assuming responsibility and increasing transparency.
BASF Health Performance Index
Internally, the HPI can be related to any given site, to facilitate specific support
through targeted interventions in the context of our Responsible Care Audits. The
sites themselves, while providing the entries into the RC database, become immediately aware of any shortcomings and can initiate appropriate actions.
