Health and Safety
We are committed to minimising the health and safety related impacts for employees, customers and communities arising from our operations and from our products in use.
Many of Johnson Matthey’s products and services make a contribution to enhancing general health and wellbeing or provide safety benefits. We manufacture a range of products used in medical applications. These include opiates, such as morphine and codeine, for pain relief, platinum containing anticancer drugs used in chemotherapy treatments and ‘Bitrex’, the world’s bitterest substance which is an aversive added to household cleaning products to prevent accidental swallowing by children. Our emission control catalysts, which are used to reduce harmful emissions from vehicles and industrial processes, have a major impact on air quality for millions of people around the world.
