EHS (Environment, Health and Safety) systems are important for pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities to adhere to regulations, ensure worker safety, and increase productivity. Proper EHS management requires identifying all hazards through reviewing equipment, processes, materials, and microorganisms being handled. It also requires implementing safety programs around hazard assessments, PPE, training, and following international standards, national laws, and company policies. Maintaining strong EHS practices is crucial for pharmaceutical facilities given the chemicals and processes involved.
