Integrated in business
The requirements include setting targets and drawing up action plans based on risk assessments and official criteria. OH&S is included in the Novozymes management systems in the business units which strengthen follow up on OH&S objectives, implementation of activities set out in actions plans and an ongoing commitment from line management.
The effectiveness and applicability of the OH&S system is evaluated at least once a year with a view to making systematic improvements.
Involvement of employees
Line management is responsible for involving employees in OH&S work and for promoting cooperation between management and employees on an ongoing basis.
Novozymes' OH&S organisation
In 2005, Novozymes’ OH&S organisation was expanded into two specialised units. One, headed up by a doctor, has a medical bias and advises individual employees on any health problems. The other focuses on managing and coordinating OH&S and preventive work.
