Safety is a priority in everything we do. Amgen staff are expected to:

• Ensure that work conditions in their area meet company safety requirements;
• Know how to use and maintain equipment used in their job and to wear any necessary protective equipment;

• Act in a reasonably safe manner.

Amgen does not tolerate offensive, threatening or violent behavior, whether verbal or physical. The company strictly prohibits possession of firearms or weapons of any kind on company premises (including vehicles parked on company property), at off-premises company events, or while on company business.
