From the earliest stages of product R&D all the way to large-scale production, our processes and plants are designed with safety in mind to protect both employees and residents nearby.
Since 2015, as part of our aspiration to EHS excellence, towards Target Zero we made some significant improvement on our journey by reducing the Teva api OSHA recordable rate by over 62% while increasing significantly the near-misses and unsafe situations reporting to better prevent incident.
