Common use of HEALTH, SAFETY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Clause in Contracts

HEALTH, SAFETY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION. It is Biovail’s policy to pay due regard to the health and safety of its employees, officers, directors and others, and to the state of the environment. There are federal, provincial, state and local workplace safety and environmental laws which through various governmental agencies regulate both physical safety of employees, officers and directors and their exposure to conditions in the workplace. Should you be faced with an environmental health issue or have a concern about workplace safety, you should contact your Health and Safety Committee representative or notify Biovail management immediately. Many countries and their regional and local governments now have complex legislation to protect the health and safety of employees, or the general public, and to prevent pollution and protect the environment. In case of violation, these laws often provide penalties for both the company involved and its executive personnel. Biovail’s SLO should always be consulted when necessary to understand or comply with such laws.
