10.3.2 Identification of Approved recyclers

Dyeing Manager is responsible for the identification of the approved waste recyclers.

The recyclers are called and based on the government board approved recycling capacity
the agreement is made mutually with the recyclers for the safe disposal of chemical waste.

The approved recyclers are included in the list which is approved by MD.

10.3.3 Training

Personnel involved in the handling or management of hazardous waste are trained to ensure
that they are able to respond effectively to emergency situations.

All facility personnel working on production lines and processes generating hazardous wastes
are provided with initial training and annual refresher training covering the following aspects:

1. presence of the specific materials
2. potential physical and health hazards associated with these materials
3. proper procedures for handling and use of these materials, including the use of per-

sonal protective equipment (i.e. gloves and protective goggles)
4. location and appropriate use of the chemical Safety Data Sheets
5. procedures to be followed in the event of an emergency situation

10.3.4 Disposal of Chemical Waste

These usually include aspects such as:

1. making and labeling of packages to indicate the hazards of the consignment, through
inclusion of information in transport documents, placing of placards on the transport
containers and vehicles (refer to national legislations and/or UN Recommendations
on the Transport of Dangerous Goods)

2. vehicle requirements such transport documents, transport emergency card (instruc-
tions in case of an accident or emergency), driver’s training and qualifications (e.g.
clearance for driving vehicles transporting hazardous goods), condition of vehicle,
emergency provisions on vehicle

3. loading requirements with regard to quantity, mixing with other loads (e.g. compati-
bility issue)

4. The TREM Card received from the approved recyclers to collect and file for future
reference and traceability.

cess of CHEMICAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
• To determine of applicable methods, including statistical techniques, and extent

of their use in the CHEMICAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Plan

11.3 Procedure:

11.3.1 Regulatory Compliance

Dyeing Manager and Admin / HR Manager are responsible for the Regulatory Compliance

We follow the applicable national and local law to run the factory with compliance and meet
the norms

The Regulatory requirements are listed and maintained by Admin Manager

We, being members of Dyeing Association and Other Technical bodies can track changes in laws
and regulations governing environmental management.

The Legal Certificates are checked quarterly once and if any certificates are due for renewal it
shall be applied and obtained before expiry of the current certificates / license

11.3.2 Work Practice and Customer Requirements Implementation

Dyeing Manager and Admin / HR Manager are responsible for the Work Practice and Customer
Requirements Implementation.

The Customer requirements shall be received and reviewed by Dyeing Manager and MD

Based on the customer requirements the commitment from us will be sent and documents
shall be maintained.

Annually once the Customer Feedback form will be sent to all our existing working customers
and seeking their feedback

Collect the Customer Feedback form and analyse for the gaps and area to be improved.

Further the actions will be initiated with an Action Plan for Improvement and budget will be al-
located along with the necessary resources.

All customers will be kept informed about Chemical Management System progress at least an-
nually once.

11.3.3 Internal Audit

Dyeing Manager and Technical Co Ordinator are responsible for the Internal Audit Process.

At least annually once the internal audit shall be planned and the circular will be issued.

The scope and area to be audited will be given in the internal audit schedule

The audits shall be performed based on the MRSL requirements and established company
policy and procedures

The audit is carried out through the checklist by the trained internal auditors

Based on the audit results and Non-Compliance the internal audit analysis shall be consolidated
for further actions

The Nonconformance area will be addressed with correction, corrective actions and preventive
actions with person responsible and target date

48

MICRO COLOUR MAKERS

Follow up of internal audit will be carried out as per the schedule dates and the
Nonconformance shall be closed

The internal audit reports shall be maintained by Technical Co Ordinator for further references

11.3.4 External Audit

Dyeing Manager and Technical Co Ordinator are responsible for the External Audit Co ordina-
tion
Whenever there is an external audit such as 3rd party, 2nd party (Customers) and their repre-
sentatives wish to audit our premises we shall invite them for the audit.

The inputs from external audits shall be taken for the scope of improvement

The actions that needs long term, the same shall be discussed with MD and inform to the exter-
nal audit for our commitment.

The audit reports shall be filed by Technical Co Ordinator for further references.

11.3.5 Change Management

On Routine basis changes in order or new/ revised specifications are addressed with MD and
necessary actions shall be initiated.

If the chemical inventory is in need of changes the same shall be reviewed internally with Man-
agement Team and look into the possible actions and address the changes if necessary.

A process of internal review is carried out at planned interval (annually) for Engineering, Opera-
tional or regulatory changes for impacts on the CHEMICAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.
