Sustainability Report 2014 – Lek d.d. Environment 50 Lek HSE systems HSE function The HSE function employs a management’s representative for HSE (Director) and persons responsible for individual fields of expertise. By the authority of the Board of Mana- gement, they are responsible for the compliance of areas of expertise with Slovenian laws and Novartis’/Sandoz’ standards, for representation of Lek in the area of expertise conducting inspections, conducting periodic internal audits, and monitoring the implementation of corrective measures, consulting and professional assistance in the implementa- tion of preventive measures at sites as well as communica- tion of identified risks to the management team. HSE department The HSE system has been established at all four sites of Lek d.d. in Slovenia. HSE roles, responsibilities and authorities are determined on the basis of the organiza- tional structure and functional organization. At multi-unit sites, activities are performed following the Host-Guest principle, whereby uniformity of HSE standards is ensured within each individual location. The same principle applies to our contract partners. The largest unit having a suitable HSE organization in place is the Host. The Host sets internal standards for individual sites that also apply to the Guests. HSE organization, human resources and training By organizing appropriate training programs, we provide our employees with a level of HSE qualification sufficient for them to manage HSE aspects of their work. In cooperation with unit heads, the HSE unit prepares annual training plans and selects training topics for inclusion in the Training and Edu- cation Catalogue. Training programs are organized into three clusters: onboarding, continuing education, and training for promotion. We also encourage direct interaction of employees in different roles, functions and units beyond the formal HSE function organization. For this purpose, the Re:act Initiative was launched, creating opportunities for the employees to pro- vide ideas, regardless of how insignificant they might appear at first glance, to positively impact employee well-being, save valuable time and natural resources, and contribute to safety and quality.
