Raw Material Producers

Hazmat Safety Priorities for Raw Material Producers

Health, Safety, Security, and Sustainability Risks

Beyond regulatory compliance, the production of raw materials carries health and safety risks requiring management at a corporate level:
•    People, Environment, Assets and Reputation (PEAR) risks 
•    Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) risks
•    Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risks 
•    Responsible Care® risks
•    Business Continuity (BC) Risks

Most producers use hazardous materials or dangerous goods in the extraction or treatment/refining of their raw materials and therefore have the responsibility of complying with various regulations surrounding the safe use and handling of chemicals and other hazmat, training of their staff and, incident preparedness, response and recovery. 

Raw materials may have classifiable hazards under the supply  regulations and/or may be classified as Hazardous Materials / Dangerous Goods for transportation under one or more transport modes. Compliance support across multiple jurisdictions/countries is therefore required, which CHEMTREC’s range of services is designed to cater for.
