Working in a facility around industrial equipment and machinery requires skill and prudent safety practices. However, what practices are in place after products have left the machinery?
What would happen if a Department of Transportation (DOT), Transport Canada, or health and safety inspector arrived at your facility? While we, at ICC The Compliance Center cannot prevent an inspection, we can certainly help you pass it with flying colors. With our plant audits, we will analyze your needs and inspect your facilities for compliance to regulations such as 49CFR Hazardous Materials Regulations, Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Regulations, Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations (CCCR), and Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) Regulations.
Our audit comprises of a walk through your facilities for a visual inspection that includes the following:
- Packaging standards
- Labeling of packages and containers for workplace and transport
- Shipping documentation
- Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
- Health and safety issues
- Warning signs
- Workplace labeling
- Risk identification
- Security
- Coming soon: GHS
Once the inspection is complete, the regulatory specialist will draft an extensive report including specific recommendations including any exempions to ensure full compliance. These also include any exemptions from which you may benefit.
Your account manager will then review the report in detail with you, help you understand our fi ndings, and select the appropriate services to solve any problems. If necessary, the regulatory specialist can assist the account manager in delivering the report to a group, so the information is properly understood by all involved.
