businesses, and it has acquired several enterprises, including the world renown
Cambridge Antibody Technology. Its main responsibilities include the
development of medicines and apparatus equipment in aid of many major

result, AstraZeneca requires a large amount of health and safety regulations to
protect its employees, staff, clients, and most importantly itself
