Safety
and Health
Schering-Plough regards excellence in
safety and health performance as an essential element of every
activity or process and as a shared business value that must
not be compromised. Schering-Plough is committed to providing
a safe and healthy workplace for employees, contractors and
visitors.
This means:
- Complying with applicable laws, regulations and other
requirements designed to protect safety and health is essential.
- Ensuring that each employee is qualified to perform his/her
duties.
- Bringing any unsafe acts or conditions – including
threats or intimidation – to the attention of a manager,
a local safety and health representative, or Global Safety
and Environmental Affairs. You can also call the Integrity
Action Line.
Drug and Alcohol Abuse
Our work requires clear thinking and the
ability to react quickly. Being under the influence of alcohol
or drugs, or improperly using medication, diminishes an employee’s
ability to perform and can compromise the safety and well-being
of fellow employees and the public.
This means:
- The sale, purchase, possession or use of any illegal drug
while on company property or while conducting company business
is prohibited.
- Legally purchased or doctor-prescribed drugs may be used,
but only if they do not negatively affect job performance.
