MDS Nordion is a leader in protecting the health and safety of our employees, our community, and the environment. Our operations continually exceed the standards set by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC). In 2005, we received an unprecedented ten-year license renewal from the CNSC for our facilities in Ottawa - a testament to our demonstrated standards of performance.
Our Environmental, Health, and Safety (EH&S) program includes key elements, such as:
- Implementing measures in the design and operation of all of our facilities to keep radiation dose received by workers and the public ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable)
- Implementing an ISO 14001-based environmental management (EMS) system at our Ottawa site
- Establishing EH&S objectives and targets annually to continually improve our performance
- Maintaining - and building on - a comprehensive training program for employees and contractors
- Engraining EH&S excellence into the MDS Nordion culture
- Investing in a world class approach to EH&S
