Our employees work in many different settings. Some research new cures in our laboratories. Others manufacture, package and distribute our products. And many work in offices or out in the field. In all of these environments, workplace safety is a value which we operate.

Occupational Health Our occupational health team monitors employees on an ongoing basis. Staff members are trained to address any health issue related to an employee’s work. Frequent observation of workers ensures that potential health problems are identified and addressed as early as possible. We also provide on-site occupational health clinics, which give employees immediate access to specially trained medical personnel. Physicians and nurses who evaluate our employees are specialists in occupational medicine in their respective fields
