HELSINN'S ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 CERTIFICATION

Biasca, Switzerland (ots)

Helsinn Chemicals SA and Helsinn
Advanced Synthesis SA have successfully passed a re-certification
audit of its ISO14001 Environmental Management System. The audit by
SGS took place on May 2nd and 3rd 2005.
In parallel, Helsinn has also applied for an audit from SGS to
inspect the Helsinn sites in relation to the Occupational Health and
Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) 18001 certification. Helsinn has
also passed this audit successfully and is now OHSAS 18001 certified.
Helsinn Chemicals SA has been ISO 14001 certified since 2001. With
Helsinn Advanced Synthesis SA now fully operational and given the
Company's drive for continuous improvement in environmental and
safety issues, Helsinn's top management requested the Safety and
Environment manager to work on the new safety standard OHSAS 18001,
which is complimentary to ISO14001.
"We are proud of this excellent result. Both these certifications
reconfirm the ongoing commitment that Helsinn has towards safety,
health and environment and they integrate fully with the high cGMP
standards of the company", says Paolo Guainazzi, General Manager of
both Helsinn Chemicals SA and Helsinn Advanced Synthesis SA.
With this achievement all three chemical plants of the Helsinn
Chemical Operations , including Helsinn Chemicals Ireland Ltd, are
ISO 14001 certified. Helsinn Chemicals Ireland also received in 2004
the National Irish Safety Organisation (NISO) Supreme Occupational
Safety Award.
About OHSAS 18001. While ISO 14001 is well-known and established
world-wide, OHSAS 18001 is the new ISO standard for Safety & Health
management systems and is fully compatible with the ISO 9001:1994
(Quality) and ISO 14001:1996 (Environmental) standards.
The (OHSAS) specification outlines requirements for an
occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system, to enable an
organization to control its OH&S risks and improve its performance.
