CMA responsible care

One way to make the importance of this clear is by including a business ethics provision in the tolling contract. The CMA Responsible Care initiative can be called out in such a provision and applied to both parties in the contract if they have both subscribed to its code of ethics. This is discussed further in Chapter 3, Mutual Agreements, Obligations and Contract Considerations.

Another industry initiative, the Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA) Responsible Care Process Safety Code of Management Practices, refers to operating procedures by noting the need for "current, complete documentation of process design, operating parameters, and procedures" (emphasis added). 

The Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA) Responsible Care Program is designed to provide CMA members with guidance regarding safety, health, and environmental quality. The program includes six codes of practice covering Community Awareness and Emergency Response (CAER), Pollution Prevention, Process Safety, Distribution, Employee Health and Safety, and Product Stewardship.

Responsible Care is the incentive sponsored by the Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA). Any CMA company must embrace the philosophy of continuous improvements of health, safety, and environmental efforts accompanied by an open communication to the pubHc about products and their production. Thus the total impact of any product on the environment, from the extraction of raw materials, their beneftciation, transportation, production of final product, and disposal of the product at the end of its useful life, must be taken into consideration. 

Chemical Manufacturers Association Code. In 1988, the Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA) adopted an initiative called Responsible Care A PubHc Commitment (33). Members of the CMA commit themselves, as an obligation of membership, to improving performance in response to pubHc concerns about the impact of chemicals on health, safety, and environmental quaUty.

Responsible Care (139), a program initiated by the CMA in 1988, is designed to make day-by-day improvements in all aspects of health, safety, and the environment. 

Tolling operations should be held to the same principles of public openness and communication espoused by forward thinking companies in the chemical industry. In 1988, the Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA) initiated the Responsible Care initiative to assist in making this possible. Its goal is to lead the chemical industry in ethical practices that increasingly benefit society, the economy and the environment. 

The Chemical Manufacturers Association s Code of Management Practice for Process Safety is oriented toward the chemical industry, and describes the elements of a process safety management program as part of CMA s Responsible Care program.

Policy the CER states it only makes sense that our corporate HSE policy is based on the guiding principles of CMA s Responsible Care . The HSE policy is not given in the report. 

EMS three sites in the USA received third party validation as part of the CMA s management system verification scheme. A yes score has been awarded since there is a stated intention that all six plants in the USA will have achieved full implementation of the six Responsible Care management codes by the end of 1999, and that globally PPG are nearing full implemention . 

Policy the CER includes a Responsible Care policy that defines the corporate HS E programmes operated by Union Carbide. Ten of the eleven areas addressed are the CMA guiding principles, the other is to comply with all applicable governmental and internal health, safety and environmental requirements. 

It is certainly difficult to find any redeeming aspect to this story. However, it did lead the Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA) to adopt, in 1988, its Responsible Care program. The first step was the voluntary Community Awareness Emergency Response program. While chemical companies have demonstrated commitment to these values, today there is renewed concern over protecting chemical plants from terrorists. 

Chemical Manuhicturers Association (CMA) Sponsors Responsible Care the industry s commitment to the public to continuously improve its health. 

The perception that the industry has not been working hard to improve, is not borne out by the facts. An initiative named Responsible Care which is the chemical industry s commitment to continuous improvement in all aspects of health, safety and environmental protection was launched in Canada in 1984. It was adopted by the USA in 1988 and has been spreading around the world since then. Apart from North America and Europe which are discussed below, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, India, Zimbabwe and other countries have adopted it [5]. The European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) has drawn up guidelines which are given in Figure 1.1 [5]. In the UK, where the Chemical Industries Association (CIA) makes participation in the Responsible Care initiative a condition of membership, discharges of red list substances (compounds of mercury and cadmium, DDT, malathion, triphenyl and tributyl tin, etc.) fell by 40% between 1990 and 1992 whilst special wastes (compounds of arsenic, antimony, barium, mercury, nickel, vanadium, etc.) disposed of off site fell by 9% [6]. The Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA) in the USA also makes participation a condition of membership and one of its Pollution Prevention Code requirements is very relevant to this book ... 

While Responsible Care as conceived is a voluntary program, the CMA, whose members control more than 90% of the basic chemical capacity in the United States and Canada, has made participation in this initiative a requisite for membership. Each CMA company, and each of its chemiced businesses, must subscribe to the principles of Responsible Care and is expected to participate in the development of programs. 

CMA can provide detailed information on Responsible Care. Chemical Week [8] has published a worldwide review and is continuing periodic updates [9]. 

The Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA) Community Awareness and Emergency Response (CAER) program provides comprehensive guidelines for the development and implementation of an emergency response plan. The CAER program has been expanded to include all aspects of the chemical industry in an initiative called Responsible Care.
