Understanding and adhering to a complex web of regulations and standards related to safety, environmental protection, transportation, and product labeling is crucial for chemical industry companies to ensure legal compliance and avoid penalties or fines. At the moment there is a lot coming up that is especially affecting the supply chain.
Especially the following regulations need to be dealt with:
- How can we best comply with safety regulations such as OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) and the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for chemical classification and labeling to protect workers from hazardous substances and ensure workplace safety?
- How can we adhere to environmental regulations like the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to minimize pollution, reduce waste generation, and promote sustainable practices in the production and handling of chemicals?
- How do we best follow transportation regulations such as the Department of Transportation’s Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) for the safe handling, packaging, labeling, and transportation of hazardous materials to prevent accidents, spills, or leaks during transit?
- How do we comply with product labeling standards like the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requirements for chemical reporting and labeling to provide accurate information on chemical composition, hazards, usage instructions, and emergency response measures for safe handling and disposal.
- How do we integrate all those in a comprehensice compliance framework without effecting process efficiency on a bigger scale?
