Alcon safety performance

In addition to the routine analysis of global safety and environmental performance objectives of our operations, Alcon monitors emerging developments in safety standards and regulations. Alcon, as it conducts its business worldwide, will ensure continual improvements in workplace safety.

The safety and health of our associates are a top priority for Alcon.  We are committed to protecting both our people and our assets by maintaining a safe and healthy work environment, in accordance with regulations and internal requirements. We track our commitment by setting and reviewing relevant safety and health objectives and targets for all of our operations.

A world class safety program requires a partnership between division leaders and associates. We have a strong culture of safety and hold each other accountable for working in a safe and environmentally responsible way.  This is reflected in our associate safety philosophy:

  • We believe that all work-related injuries can be prevented.
  • Prevention of injuries is good business.
  • Training associates to work safely is essential.
  • Safety and health are responsibilities that must be shared equally by everyone within the organization.
  • Working safely is a condition of employment.
