To identify your chemical hazards and risks and to assess their associated
Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S) and Social impacts, you should follow
a systematic step-by-step approach. You must first understand the process flows
of your operations. Make sure to also take into account external activities that
you can influence within your business, including the products and services you
procure, and the products and services that you directly provide to your
customers. Then identify what chemicals are involved and the related hazards.
You will find that establishing an inventory and collecting hazard information
will make it easier.
