Global EHS standards
Supporting GlaxoSmithKline’s Environment, Health and Safety and Employee Health policies is a comprehensive set of 64 Global EHS Standards that establish specific requirements for the company worldwide. The Standards establish a management system approach to legal compliance, continuous improvement and the management of key EHS-related business risks. They are consistent with internationally recognised management system standards, such as ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001. The Standards were developed in consultation with internal stakeholders, and approved by the Chief Executive Officer.

EHS guidelines
EHS guidelines are key components of GlaxoSmithKline's EHS Framework. They support the Global EHS Standards by providing further information on the requirements of the Standards and by setting out an approach for achieving compliance that has been approved by EHS and Employee Health functions. They incorporate existing good practice, from both within and outside GlaxoSmithKline. Guidelines for all Standards were completed during 2003.

Supporting technical information
A wide range of information is available on the intranet to supplement the EHS guidelines. This includes technical information, training materials and EHS guides to business processes.
