1 In 2011 Woodside adjusted the way we calculated total recordable cases (TRC) and lost workday cases (LWC) to include illnesses. All figures reported for TRC, LWC and their respective frequencies use the new methodology. The figures in parentheses reflect the previously publicly reported data. Frequency rates are calculated per million hours worked.
2 Total Indigenous workforce numbers include Indigenous contractors (construction). Indigenous employment data is based on declarations provided by employees and contractors.
3 Indigenous employee numbers for 2010 and 2011 have been reclassified to include Indigenous cadets.
4 Categorisation of workforce type was reviewed in 2009.
5 2011–2008 social investment data has been verified by the London Benchmarking Group (LBG) methodology. 2008 data previously reported has been amended to reflect LBG verification. 2007 data is presented on an estimate basis. The LBG verified data includes donations, community investment and commercial initiatives. The 2007 data was inclusive of expenditure that does not meet LBG definitions. For more information, please visit ww w.lbg-australia.com.
 
Data definitions are provided on pages 67 and 68 of the 2011 Sustainable Development Report.
 
All data in this table is reported on a Woodside equity share basis. The exception is greenhouse gas emissions intensity, which is reported on a total operated basis.
