Environment, safety and health protection have top priority
Responsibility for safety and health as well as environmental protection are top priorities at Merck. This begins with the
careful manufacturing of our pharmaceuticals, chemicals and laboratory products, and ranges from providing a safe environment
for our employees and neighbors to environmentally friendly production.
Safety is the “supreme goal” at Merck: Care is taken to exclude both potential technical and human sources of error as far
as possible by means of intensive training and a large number of technical and organizational measures.
Occupational health and safety are declared corporate objectives.
In addition, Merck has a fire protection department at the Darmstadt site with more than 140 specialists professionally trained in the areas of fire, site and environmental protection.
The site also has a Neighborhood Information System (NIS) in place to provide direct information and to alert the local community in the event of an incident.
