How to survive a chemical management audit – White paper

Eliminating chemical safety deficiencies in the workplace can empower organizations to satisfy regulatory requirements and pass workplace chemical audits.

Abstract

 Every year, many organizations fail to pass audits of their workplace chemicals because those chemicals and related supplies are not managed and controlled in a safe manner in accordance with regulations.

One of the main causes for the continuing chemical safety deficiencies in the workplace that drive audit failure is the large number of requirements governing chemical-related work.

Numerous local, state and federal requirements have been promulgated to protect workers, equipment, facilities and the environment from the hazards associated with chemicals.

Because such requirements can number in the thousands, simply identifying all of the applicable chemical safety-related requirements that govern any particular work activity with chemicals can be a monumental task.

In addition, many of these requirements approach chemical safety from different perspectives, contain overlapping provisions, are sometimes contradictory and often confusing.
