We work with chemicals so often at home (bleach, WD-40, cleaners) that we sometimes forget the risk and regulations associated with them. Whether managing inventories to ensure that your company is ‘in compliance’ with all applicable laws and regulations, ensuring your employees are properly trained to handle hazardous chemicals, or avoiding that magically appearing chemical, managing onsite chemicals comes with huge environmental, health and safety risks.
Developing and managing a robust chemical management program can be exceedingly challenging, especially for companies with global footprints that need to comply with a patchwork of state/provincial and national laws.
