Social Responsibility

Public Information Program (PIP)

We are a leader in protecting the health and safety of our employees and neighbours, and our operations continually exceed the standards set by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC). Meeting or exceeding the CNSC requirements, we do our part to protect the health, safety, environment and security of Canadians. And, through our Public Information Program (PIP), we are committed to open public communications.

Safety and Compliance

As an organization that manufactures nuclear products, we are one of the most highly regulated organizations in the world. We are regulated by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC), United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC), and Health Canada to name just a few.

Environmental Management

Nordion is ISO 14001:2004 certified. This certification is an internationally recognized standard which specifies the actual requirements for an environmental management system (EMS) and for controlling and improving a company’s environmental performance. Currently, our Ottawa and Laval sites are certified against ISO 14001:2004.

Emergency Preparedness

One of our guiding principles is to put safety and security first for our employees, our neighbours, and the environment.

Environmental Health and Safety (EHS)

We are committed to meeting or exceeding all environmental, health and safety legal requirements applicable to our operations, and other requirements to which we subscribe.
