This document is a statement of BNL's ESSH policy.  BNL is a world leader in scientific research and strives to demonstrate excellence in protecting people, property, and the environment.

I expect every employee, contractor, and guest to take personal responsibility for adhering to the following principles:

  • Environment:  We protect the environment, conserve resources, and prevent pollution.
  • Safety:  We maintain a safe workplace and we plan our work and perform it safely.  We take responsibility for the safety of ourselves, coworkers, and guests.
  • Security:  We protect people, property, information, computing systems, and facilities.
  • Health:  We protect human health within our boundaries and in the surrounding community.
  • Compliance:  We achieve and maintain compliance with applicable ESSH requirements.
  • Community:  We maintain open, proactive and constructive relationships with our employees, neighbors, regulators, DOE, and our other stakeholders.
  • Continual Improvement:  We continually improve ESSH performance.

In addition to my annual review of BNL's progress on ESSH goals and adherence to this policy, I invite all interested parties to provide me with input on our performance relative to this policy, and the policy itself.
