Construction safety practices are fully integrated with our business processes; global construction industry best practices are implemented on all Merck capital projects. Continuous improvement and effective safety program implementation are Company priorities.
Since the inception of Merck's construction safety program, both the Global Engineering Services staff and partner organizations have fully embraced the realization that it is possible to achieve zero incidents. This recognition has resulted in a steady decrease in the number of recordable and lost-time incidents.
