Health and Safety

Battelle is committed to protect, preserve and nurture our people, facilities, communities and environment. We do this by continuously evaluating and enhancing our performance in areas related to health, safety and the environment. We value our reputation as a caring employer, conscientious neighbor and community leader.
 
Whether it's through our rigorous process of hazard identification, pollution prevention, environmental management systems or other environmental safety and health programs, Battelle works with, and for, our community neighbors to enhance the quality of life.

Work Safety

Battelle values human life above all else and has a long history of applying great science to the world’s health and safety challenges.
 
However, our success is diminished if even one of our staff is injured or made ill. That’s why our goal is for all our staff to go home safe and healthy each day and return to work the same way.
 
We believe all injuries are preventable, giving us the confidence to strive for zero occupational injuries and illnesses.
 
We understand that a goal of zero is difficult, but we are committed to providing our staff with an injury-free career.
 
Living out our responsibility to people means doing the right things right. We are proving that great science can be accomplished while protecting our people and the environment.
 
Environmental Stewardship

Environmental stewardship is central in our corporate core value of integrity. Our stewardship responsibility is a clear expectation in our corporate policy, which extends to the laboratories we manage and co-manage for others and is integral to our management philosophy of simultaneous excellence.
 
This philosophy is demonstrated in our best-in-class management systems that move Battelle beyond regulatory compliance and into environmental leadership wherever we do business.
 
Our commitment to environmental excellence is reflected in our registrations to the ISO 14001:2004 international standard, memberships in the EPA National Environmental Performance Track registry and our numerous local and national awards.
 
The Battelle vision encompasses all of these things, but the idea is only as good as the people who execute it. We're blessed with great people. Their commitment ensures that Battelle is not just a world-class science and technology organization it's a world-class way of life.
