Environmental Health and Safety (EHS)

Nordion is committed to operating in a safe, responsible manner that respects the environment and the health of our employees, our customers, and the communities where we operate. We are committed to meeting or exceeding all environmental, health and safety legal requirements applicable to our operations, and other requirements to which we subscribe.

Compliance

We comply with all environmental, health and safety laws and regulations relevant to our operations, and other requirements to which Nordion subscribes.

ALARA

We protect our employees, neighbours and the environment. We keep exposure to radiation as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA), social and economic factors considered.

Sound EHS Management

We protect the environment in which we operate and ensure safe working conditions and environmental integrity by using an environmental management system (EMS) and training designed to prevent pollution, avoid workplace injuries, and minimize risks to human health.

Continuous Improvement

We continually review our operations to seek new opportunities for improving our EHS performance and promote a safety culture throughout the organization.
