One environmental enforcement action resulted in a fine in 2003. A Specialty Engineering facility in the US received a fine of US$16,000 for waste labelling and storage violations. Corrective action was implemented and a subsequent follow-up audit by the regulator gave the facility a score of 100% compliance. In 2002, two minor enforcement actions resulted
in fines of £1,300.

Smiths will start collating Health and Safety enforcement information at Group level and expects to report this
data next year.
