Panel Discussion: Building a Unified Approach to Contractor & Supply Chain Safety in Biopharma
1:00 pm
- Explore how fragmented standards, inconsistent oversight, and cost-driven pressures across contractors and suppliers create vulnerabilities in EHS performance, addressing prequalification, third-party assurance, and the opportunity for industrywide alignment on safety expectations and ethical contracting
- Demonstrate how collaboration across biopharma companies can establish shared standards, reduce duplication, and strengthen cultural consistency across complex global supply chains
- Gain strategies to implement unified contractor management frameworks, balance cost and safety incentives, and foster long-term partnerships that enhance both compliance and worker wellbeing

Panel Discussion & Extended Q&A
8:30 am
- Explore how the Swiss Cheese Model applies to layered EHS defences in biopharma, from engineering controls to human behaviour and management systems
- Identify where new “holes” are emerging as modalities evolve and operations grow more complex, from potent compounds to digital workflows
- In what ways can human factors, digital monitoring, and behavioural data be used to close the “holes” between procedural intent and real-world practice?
