- determine at the time of employment and thereafter, as appropriate, the medical fitness of employees to do their work without undue risk to themselves or others
- provide or arrange for medical services necessary for the treatment of employee occupational illnesses or injuries and for the handling of medical emergencies
- comply with all applicable laws and regulations, and apply responsible standards where laws and regulations do not exist
- work with government agencies and others to develop responsible laws, regulations and standards based on sound science and consideration of risk
- conduct and support research to extend knowledge about the health effects of their operations
- undertake appropriate reviews and evaluations of their operations to measure progress and to foster compliance with this policy
