CSL's ability to provide safe and healthy workplaces has been demonstrated in another year in which no significant health, safety or environmental incidents have been reported.

Our employees participate in a wide range of activities through which we maintain and develop safe and healthy workplaces within a framework of clearly defined policies, guidelines and standard operating procedures. Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) committees provide the forums through which employees and unions are represented and actions initiated.

Developed to comply with international standards, CSL's HS&E management system has been implemented across all our business operations and creates a strong focus for sustaining our culture of safety. Each site has a nominated HS&E professional, supervisor or manager responsible for maintaining and developing the HS&E system.

In July 2005, CSL's Bioplasma facility at Broadmeadows in Melbourne achieved re-accreditation for Australian Standard AS4801, a recognised and reliable indication of how effectively CSL's health and safety management systems are being applied. Re-accreditation was carried out by Lloyds Register, an internationally recognised quality and auditing organisation.

CSL complies with the relevant regulations covering the jurisdictions in which we operate. In keeping with company policy and to minimise the potential for environmental impacts, all CSL sites are required to ensure compliance with their local environmental regulations and policies.
