Managing your chemical safety, compliance and sustainability worldwide
We can help you comply with changing rules and regulations of chemical hazard communication, like the latest understanding of the Poison Centre harmonisation, or through our safety data sheet (SDS) authoring and management services. Our global regulatory and technical knowledge base can support you to communicate accurate and compliant information to downstream users and regulators. Our expert consultancy team’s broad range of expertise in chemical supply and transport mean they can provide clients with a “one stop shop” for compliance – tailored to your needs.
Our emergency response helpline operates 365 days a year, 24/7, providing an uninterrupted, reliable service. Accessed through a network of international telephone numbers and local language speakers, our service helps chemical suppliers and transporters comply with the complexity of international chemical safety regulations. We mitigate impacts to people, the environment, assets and reputation, and provide a consistently high quality of response and transparency across global organisations.
Our consultants can help you no matter where you are on your sustainability journey. We offer a comprehensive range of services to help organisations in the chemical sector to achieve an effective, forward-thinking and sustainable way to do business.
