Janssen Schaffhausen’s environmental impact is managed through the following programs:

ISO 14001 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM:

The environmental impact is measured, assessed and continuously improved using this system. Independent auditors check the system regularly and decide whether it meets the certification requirements. Janssen Schaffhausen has been certificated since 2000.

JOHNSON & JOHNSON EHSS STANDARDS:

Johnson & Johnson define and regularly update EHSS requirements which the location must fulfill to minimise environmental, health and safety risks. It is also used to proactively meet legal (and future legal) requirements. Compliance is periodically checked by a team of external auditors.

CITIZENSHIP& SUSTAINABILITY GOALS 2016 - 2020

The Johnson & Johnson C&S Goals are an expression of the companies ambition to set high environmental standards at our sites. To do this, Janssen Schaffhausen need innovative solutions that benefit both the environment and people. J&J has a long-standing tradition concerning sustainability. The J&J Credo and mission as a health care company inspires us to continued sustainability.

Our current sustainability goals for Janssen Schaffhausen are:

• 20% reduction of CO2 emissions (230 tons annually)
• Improve energy efficiency by 2% annually
• 35 % of electricity to come from renewable sources
• Increase non-hazardous waste recycling to 80%
• Perform a risk assessment concerning water consumption and mitigate the risk

RESULTS OF OUR LAST SUSTAINABILITY CAMPAIGN «HEALTHY FUTURE 2015»

Water

Goal: Reduction of water by 10% compared to 2010.
Result: This target was successfully achieved. The water consumption was reduced from 2015 to 2015 by 14.8%. This result is due to various water saving projects as well as changed product portfolio.

Waste

Goal: 10% reduction of hazardous-and non-hazardous waste compared to 2010.
Result: This target was largely exceeded. There was a 44.6 % reduction of non-hazardous waste. The reasons for this success are an expanding of the disposal system for solvents and a changed product portfolio.

Safety is the highest law

Safety at work is part of the culture of Johnson & Johnson companies and is embedded in the Credo. From the first day, it is among the duties of every employee and it is a responsibility borne by all – a long-term and strongly target-orientated process that should serve all our staff and their families – or, in the words of the Johnson & Johnson Safety Vision Statement:

«We are committed to making Johnson & Johnson the world leader in health and safety by achieving healthy lifestyles and injury-free workplaces.»

OHSAS 18001 Certification

OHSAS stands for Occupational Health & Safety Assessment Series and is the certification of Cilag AG’s health and work safety management system. The internationally recognised certificate proves that the health and safety management system is suitable. Cilag AG has been certified since 2003 and is audited annually by independent experts. This distinction brings the company international recognition and is an endorsement of its work safety policy.

Organisation and Guidelines

All staff are allocated to a safety, health and environment training scheme according to the risk profile relevant to their role. Staff know the dangers and risks in their work environment and take responsibility for abiding by and implementing the relevant regulations taught to them.

Electronic Work Permit

All tasks with a potential risk, and roles in dangerous areas within Cilag AG are undertaken with a pre-prepared electronic work permit. The work permit identifies possible dangers as well as the safety measures that must be taken whilst carrying out these tasks. All those involved are informed of the contents in this document and, by their agreement, undertake to abide by the obligatory procedures. The aim is to ensure safety at work at all times and thereby avoid accidents.

Chemical Hazard Information

Because chemicals are frequently in use at Cilag AG, relevant safety and environmental criteria must be documented. This enables every member of staff to recognise and understand chemical hazards.

Thanks to the integration of the ultra-modern SAP EH&S database into the production cycle, the right solution is always available. Because hazard information goes through the production process with the substances, it is always on hand – on labels, transportation documents or risk assessments.

Protecting people in contact with highly active substances

Cilag AG ensures that staff working with highly active substances do not come into physical contact with them, using a variety of protective equipment. An example of this is isolators, which completely separate people from products and thus guarantee optimum protection.

Company Fire Service and Accident Team

As part of the Risk Management Programme, Cilag AG is always prepared for any incident. The fire service and medical service are at our disposal with over 50 highly trained staff. Their capability is checked in regular exercises.

Lockout / tagout – a safety system for contact with electricity, etc.

In order to avoid electrical accidents during maintenance of facilities and machinery, Cilag staff have devised a system which prevents the inadvertent reactivation of deliberately disconnected fuses.

Safe fork-lift driving

Internal transport in relatively confined spaces that are also used by pedestrians has a danger potential. Because our forklifts are fitted with the “no-col” (no collision) system, we can set up safe zones at critical places. The system guarantees that the vehicles are automatically slowed to a given speed at dangerous places.

Industrial Hygiene

Risk analysis is a key part of assessing potential dangers in the workplace. The working hygiene department thus has the opportunity to assess the probability and seriousness of contact with chemicals or physical effects, such as noise or ionising emissions. Describing the individual processes, the properties of the chemicals used and the technical resources, as well as current production plans, form the basis of a risk analysis. The need for and priority of contaminant measurements at workplaces in the production cycle are calculated using the resultant risk index.

Should exposure levels be above the limit, corrective measures have to be taken. These may be of a technical or organisational kind, and it is possible that personal protective equipment may have to be adapted.

Engineering measures

The implementation of measures is the end of the process. The aim is continuous improvement of technical equipment which allows very secure working procedures. In this way, staff protection is guaranteed with protective equipment that is as light and comfortable as possible.

In order to avoid harm to employees’ health, Johnson & Johnson has devised a variety of health programmes. Alongside this, Swiss legal requirements are built into these programmes. The health service is responsible for implementing these health programmes and its tasks are, among others:

– To ensure that all medical requirements, both legal and required by Johnson & Johnson are met

– To carry out risk analyses in order to ascertain which health programme suits each individual employee

– To carry out sight and hearing tests

– To make an annual analysis of trends in order to ascertain whether health-related incidents seem to have become more frequent or have increased at particular workplaces

– Medical Case Management (the co-ordination of processing health-related incidents in relation to the workplace)

– To co-ordinate and carry out projects to improve health

– To educate on health risks (e.g. knowing the side-effects of substances)

– To continually improve the healthcare system.

Specific healthcare

Staff are assigned to a health programme according to their workplace. In order to do this, their state of health is checked at the time of joining the company. Regular medical check-ups tell us whether the employee’s health has stayed the same, improved or worsened. These periodic checks enable us to react swiftly to any kind of change. The Cilag AG healthcare system was assessed as being excellent by Johnson & Johnson.

Health workshops

Information events with updated content are organised at regular intervals. Workshops on AIDS, the flu virus, stopping smoking, nutrition and daily exercise are examples of workshops we have held.

Cilag AG’s active sports clubs

Cilag AG supports its own sports club, which means that staff can join a football, tennis, ski, swimming, cycling or squash club, or a fitness group. These clubs are open to all staff and their families. In total, around 20% of Cilag AG staff are members of sports clubs. Along with this, Cilag AG provides a training centre close to the local infirmary. In turn Cilag staff can train with professional supervision at a fair price.

Ergonomic workplaces

The set-up of individual workplaces is discussed with the employee in order to accommodate his/her needs as well as ergonomic standards. Workplaces are continually checked and improved where necessary.
