CSL

CSL protects and promotes the health and well-being of our people and works to minimise our impact on the environment. Fundamental to our strategic goals being achieved is a global commitment to the continuous improvement of our Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) activities.

CSL operates an integrated Health, Safety and Environment Management System that is binding for all sites to ensure we maintain high standards in HS&E. We are committed to conducting all operations in ways that protect and promote the health and well-being of our people and minimise our impact on the environment.

CSL’s global HS&E Management System underpins our ongoing review of regulatory compliance and in-house performance. To further enhance the integration of our global reporting systems, this year we extended the number of key indicators used as standard tools to monitor HS&E performance.

Lost time incident data continues to record performance improvement. With enhanced early intervention injury management strategies, improvements in recordable incident results should continue to be expected.

All our sites around the world maintain certifications to relevant external occupational health and safety management systems. Strategic in-house initiatives this year included critical hazard reduction plans in Australia and the implementation of a Safety and Health Accident Reduction Process (SHARP) at our Kankakee site in the US.

Preparatory works have been completed to assess the capacity of the global HS&E auditing program to integrate internal and external reporting requirements into a single auditing tool. Such works include use of a common database as the platform for audit completion and assessment. Independent review of the auditing tools will occur to ensure the integrated system meets all reporting and compliance needs.

We continue to create opportunities for our employees to be involved in HS&E workplace health and well-being programs operating at all sites. These programs aim to improve workplace and community engagement. Among many events our employees have participated in this year have been the Penn Relays at the University of Pennsylvania, the Bern Grand Prix run, the BRW Triathlon in Melbourne and the Tokyo Marathon.
