What this topic means for pharmaceuticals

Health and safety covers the general duty to provide a safe workplace, suitable equipment and proper training, and to manage risks. In pharmaceuticals it intersects with hygiene, gowning and handling controls; this page stays general and does not state specific regulations.

General safety principles

  • Assess and manage the risks present in the work and environment.
  • Provide induction, training and clear procedures for safe working.
  • Supply and maintain suitable equipment and protective measures.
  • Support hygiene, gowning and handling disciplines on site.
  • Encourage reporting of hazards, incidents and near-misses.

Employer good practice

  • Make safety part of induction and ongoing training.
  • Keep equipment, procedures and protective measures maintained.
  • Review risks when processes, tasks or layouts change.
  • Keep records and act on reported issues.

Where to find the rules

  • Consult the national labour-inspection or occupational-safety authority for your country.
  • Follow your own site procedures and safety documentation.
