Innovative safety approach

As an additional safety measure, Crucell recently introduced a Personal Protection System (PPS) for employees at the facilities in Leiden. The system works with portable transmitters that raise an alarm in the event of an accident or unsafe situation. The warning signal can be sent actively by the person carrying the transmitter, but also transmits automatically if an inbuilt sensor detects that the person has fallen or not moved for a pre-defined period of time. Use of the PPS is mandatory for anyone working alone and/or outside regular office hours at the Leiden site. The system has been implemented as a pilot project in the Dutch facilities and results are being monitored to guide decisions about possible expansion to other sites.
