Each chemical is different from the next one and therefore each chemical has different characteristics that help define the hazards that may be present.

Physical hazards are those hazards arising from work-related tasks as well as from the physical environment in which work is being performed.

The purpose of the non-ionizing radiation safety program is to ensure the safe use of Non-Ionizing Radiation (NIR) sources and to meet the expectations of the Standards.

Pharmaceutical Industry’s Approach to Safe Handling of New Molecular Entities.

Example of a document produced after a fatality.

Equipment containment performance: Potent and highly potent active pharmaceutical ingredients have the potential to cause serious health effects in workers at very low airborne concentrations. The use of containment equipment as part of a systematic approach to potent compound safety is advised to control worker exposure. However the containment performance of equipment can not be assumed, evaluation of containment performance, using a standardised approach, should be adopted.

An overview of Industrial hygiene and hazard assessment in the workplace.

This paper provides an overview of some of the current best practices which have been developed for external manufacturing for both the Chemical and Pharmaceutical industries.

This chart is provided as a general guide for plastic chemical and condition compatibility.

This handbook is provided to owners, proprietors and managers of small businesses by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Labor. It should help small business employers meet the legal requirements imposed by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the Act), and achieve an in-compliance status before an OSHA inspection.

The UK Bribery Act, which was passed in 2010, introduces an offence of corporate failure to prevent bribery. The defence for a company against this liability is to prove that it had adequate procedures in place to prevent bribery. This Guidance from Transparency International UK (TI-UK) is designed to assist companies to comply with the Bribery Act by providing clear, practical advice on good practice anti-bribery systems that in TI-UK's opinion constitute 'adequate procedures' for compliance with the Bribery Act.

The Novo Nordisk Way, an example of the Business Code of Conduct.

Keeping a facility clean helps improve productivity and employee morale. In addition, it
presents a positive image to customers, stakeholders and the community. A clean facility can also help ensure greater compliance with environmental, health and safety regulations. Leaks and spills can happen anywhere – from the front office to the shipping dock; and beyond. These spills create waste and can lead to costly environmental fines - especially if the spill leaves the facility. Leaks and spills can also contribute to worker injuries, causing piles of medical bills, workman’s compensation claims and lost work time.

An example is Bayer's “Science For A Better Life” where they promise innovative solutions to global economic, ecological and social challenges. The availability of fresh water is a growing concern around the world. Water is not only essential for life on earth but also for many industry sectors of the global economy and for us as a pharmaceutical and chemical company with energy and water intensive operations.

An example is Novo Nordisk's climate strategy, which is developed in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. It includes all scope 1 and 2 emissions within operational control and scope 3 emissions that are significant in size or significant from a stakeholder perspective. Towards 2020 their focus is on reporting and reducing emissions from global production sites, company cars, product distribution and business travel.

Through the application of the PSCI Principles, better social, economic and environmental outcomes will result for all those involved in the pharmaceutical supply chain. As an industry, we will focus our efforts on positive social and environmental changes, and building supply chain capacity.

Through the application of the PSCI Principles, better social, economic and environmental outcomes will result for all those involved in the pharmaceutical supply chain. As an industry, we will focus our efforts on positive social and environmental changes, and building supply chain capacity.

The PSCI operates in compliance with the antitrust and competition laws of all applicable countries, including the United States (both state and federal) and European Union. To that end, PSCI has drafted these competition guidelines to serve as a general code of conduct for PSCI as well as its constituent members.
