Q&A
I have noticed some practices in my area that do not seem safe. Who can I speak to? I am new here and I do not want to be considered a troublemaker.
Discuss your concerns with your manager or report your concerns to the OpCo EHS manager. There may be very good reasons for the practices, but it is important to remember that, at Danaher, raising a concern about safety is never viewed as causing trouble - it is being responsible. If your concerns are not resolved by notifying your manager, use Speak Up! or contact any of the other resources listed in the Code.
A co-worker seems to be under the influence of drugs. I am worried that she might cause a safety problem and hurt herself or others. What should I do?
You are right to be concerned. If you believe there is a safety risk, speak with your manager immediately. Anyone on the job who is impaired by alcohol or any drugs – legal or illegal – could be a safety risk. Steps need to be taken immediately to address the problem.
