The Camco Chemicals Safety, Health and
Environmental Quality Statement
| |
|
| |
The responsible use of chemicals
be it their transportation, use or disposal is at
the core of Camco's philosophy.
|
Camco and its senior management team are pledged
to support a better environment. That commitment includes:
- The communication of this policy to all of its employees
- Making this policy available to the general public.
- The stewardship of all operations through adoption of the
guiding principles of Responsible Care; and
- Consideration of environmental health and safety factors
in product and manufacturing methods.
The range of this commitment includes: procurement, transportation,
receipt, handling, storage, testing, use, discharge and disposal
of all chemicals used in its operations. Camco chemical directs
these operations through an environmental management system
having the primary objectives of:
- Meeting or exceeding all applicable government ISO 14000,
Responsible Care and health and safety requirements
and voluntary requirements to which Camco Chemicals subscribes;
- Reducing the impact of operations on the environment by
the establishment of pollution preventive objectives and targets
at each relevant function and level of the organization. Progress
toward meeting those objectives, targets and goals is subsequently
reviewed during the management review process.
- Continually improving Camco's Environmental management system
and its performance;
- Identifying and controlling workplace hazards, and training
all employees to contribute to the quality of their environment;
- Conducting rigorous audits and self-assessments of Camco's
compliance with this policy, and measuring progress of Camco's
environmental performance; and
- Promoting openness in dealing with stakeholders with consideration
of employees and public input.
Last, the Camco environmental commitment rejects the idea
that safe, responsible use and good business practices are
separate -- as well as the notion that good environmental
stewardship can be a short-term plan.
