Roche Guidelines for the Assurance of Safety, Security, Health and Environmental Protection, 2019 Page 20 / 48
The tasks
and duties of the local security organization and the Site Security Officer
include
the security of Roche employees (on Site and outside the Roche premises), including,
among others, travel security, evacuation planning and kidnap plans, etc.
the physical protection of the buildings, plants and properties, including, among others,
fences, doors, closing systems, reception desks, security guards and patrols, detection
and alarm systems, etc.
the control of contractors and visitors
the protection of intellectual property and proprietary information
the transportation of high value shipments
The Company and Site management respectively are accountable for the security concept
and the defined protection levels. Operational elements of Site security (e.g. security patrols,
guards, etc.) may be outsourced to reliable companies if there is a clear business case (not
just head-count). For more details see the Group SHE Directive K19.
Safety and security programs often overlap and the two functions must work closely and ef-
fectively together. Therefore the safety, security, health and environmental protection func-
tions should form a common department (while historical exceptions having security as a
separate local function are allowed).
The specialist SHE organization, the SHE officer and the SSO may assume certain additional
tasks delegated by the General Manager or the Site Manager.
Each SHE Officer and SSO must have a deputy. In case the SHE Officer or SSO function is
taken over by another person, a smooth hand over of the SHE and security documentation
and affairs to the new job holder must be ensured by the line management.
