The Responsibility of Health and Safety
Bearing in mind the specifics of the pharmaceutical industry in terms of the potential risk to the health and safety of employees at the workplace and in accordance with the OHSAS 18001:1999 standard, Bosnalijek has developed and implemented a safety system of risk management and risk mitigation though the application of preventive measures. The health and occupational safety risk management system was introduced, implemented and certified at Bosnalijek in 2006. OHSAS 18001 provides protection for employees through a systematic approach to the identification of potential hazards and dangers and risk management. It contributes to a healthier and safer working environment, reduces accidents and difficulties in occupational health and safety and contributes to a reduction in losses caused by illness and injury to employees. The basis of this system is the occupational safety of employees, with the objective and focus on preventive action. This transparent and effective process of occupational protection and safety for employees provides for efficient communication and cooperation between Bosnalijek and the relevant institutions.Responsibility to the Environment

It has based its responsibility to the environment and the environmental protection system on observance of legislative requirements, the requirement to document all procedures, monitoring and reporting and verification through certification in accordance with the ISO 14001 standard. Bosnalijek’s relationship to the environment is based on an awareness of the effects of its operations on the environment, continuous improvement of daily work practices, the use of low emissions technology, the efficient use of resources, cooperation with other entities on environmental protection, the transparency of in-house activities, communication within the region and socially responsible business operations.Bosnalijek’s commitment to sustainable development and the objectives of environmental protection are long-term and require continuous activity, qualified staff and substantial funds. This is why annual plans define in detail the environmental objectives and projects, the implementation of which provides for lasting control, improvement and increased environmental protection.
