Following
the mergers which created the company, Nycomed Amersham has undergone
considerable restructuring and rationalisation of its facilities,
business lines, operational and corporate procedures. Amongst these
was consolidation of the various health, safety and environment (HS&E)
programmes already in place and being developed within the previously
separate components of the company. A major review was undertaken
of the HS&E practices in place at each of the company's business
units.
From this review, Nycomed Amersham has
developed a common set of HS&E policies and standards, backed
up with guidelines on their implementation. The management of HS&E
issues has been integrated directly into the line management structure
in each of the company's business units throughout the world. Coordinating
the introduction and implementation of new standards and procedures
is a core team of HS&E practitioners, managed through the Group
Technical Services function, the Director of which is a member of
the Group Management Committee. The Director reports directly to
the Chief Executive of Nycomed Amersham who carries Main Board responsibility
for HS&E.
