RESPONSIBLE CARE® PROGRAMME

The RESPONSIBLE CARE® Programme is an initiative of the chemical industry and is adopted by chemical companies to improve continuously on the environmental, health and safety performance of their operations and products in the manner responsible to the concern of the end users and the public.

 

The RESPONSIBLE CARE® Programme started in Canada in 1985 and has spread worldwide to some 42 countries, including Malaysia. It is managed on a national basis by the chemical industry associations in the countries concerned. Chemical Industries Council of Malaysia (CICM) is the Malaysian steward for the RESPONSIBLE CARE initiative of the global chemical industry. 33 chemicals companies signed the Certificate of Guiding Principles to mark their companies’ commitment to the RESPONSIBLE CARE® Programme.

 

CCM Chemicals Sdn Bhd is committed to the 6 Codes of Management Practices:

 

 

 

-

DISTRIBUTION CODE

 

 

To reduce the potential for harm posed by the distribution of chemicals to the general public, employees and the environment.

 

 

 

 

-

COMMUNITY AWARENESS AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE CODE       

 

 

To work with nearby communities to understand their concerns and to plan practices for emergencies.

 

 

 

 

-

POLLUTION PREVENTION CODE

 

 

To achieve ongoing reductions in the amount of all pollutants released into the environment.

 

 

 

 

-

PROCESS SAFETY CODE

 

 

To prevent fires, explosions and accidental chemical releases.

 

 

 

 

-

EMPLOYEE HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE

-

PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP CODE

 

 

To make health, safety and environmental protection  a priority in all stages of a product’s life, from design to disposal.

 

These codes do not dictate how a company should operate but instead they are performance indicators that encourage commitment, innovation and continual improvement.

 

 

CCM CHEMICALS SAFETY PERFORMANCE

 

SITE SAFETY PERFORMANCE
It is a measurement on Safety Performance at the various CCMC sites. It provides key safety indicators i.e Lost Time Incidents (LTI), reportable rate and dangerous occurrences.

Like financial targets all sites are measured on key safety indicators.

 

TRANSPORTATION SAFETY STATISTICS
Since CCMC transports most of our chemicals in road tankers and lorries, safety in transportation is key to the way we conduct our business.  This is the reason why we monitor safety performance during transportation. Key indicators are reportable accidents, dangerous occurrences and speeding.

 

SAFETY INCIDENTS AT CUSTOMER'S LOCATION
Under the Responsible Care Programme one of the Codes of Practice is Product Stewardship Programme. In support of this programme, we conduct Product Safety Training for customers on the use of chemicals sold by CCMC. Safety audits are also conducted to ensure the customer's installation meets the requirement under local legislations and guidelines.

CCMC also monitors safety incidents at customer's location that involves the delivery of CCMC products.  Thus we can provide unrivaled safety services to the customer.

 

 

CCM CHEMICALS EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN

 

The Emergency Response Procedure (ERP) for CCM Chemicals products is to enable the company to respond to an emergency situation which happen at either Malaysia or Singapore with assistance from public emergency services and relevant parties. The emergency situation may be an incident which threatens the safety or health of workers or members of the public or is an incident which can have an adverse impact on the environment.

 

ERP Scope

Bhd. products which involve the supply and distribution of chlorine, ammonia, caustic soda, hydrochloric acid, sodium hypochloride, ferric chloride, polyaluminium chloride, nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide, sodium cyanide, potassium cyanide, mixed acid, hydrofluoric acid and MDI which are transported to customers throughout East &West Malaysia & Singapore.

Depending on the seriousness and type of incident, the CES team which is either based in Pasir Gudang Works (PGW) or Shah Alam Works (SAW) or both centres will be mobilised in the case of an emergency situation.

The ERP also covers other traded products that are stored at the CCMC Warehouse in Port Klang. However, the response to incidences involving these products is limited to coordination by the CES Command Centres.
