“…Chemical regulations such as the European Union (EU) Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) [3,4]. EU Registration Evaluation Authorisation and restriction of CHemicals (REACH) [5] and other international regulations based on both EU RoHS and EU REACH have resulted in industry having to generate vast amounts of information in relation to chemical substances used in articles (products) [6,7,8].…”

In this paper a chemical substance reporting system is presented to enable industry to assess the impacts of increasing chemical regulations. Chemical regulations impose the need to monitor, control and restrict the use of hazardous substances. As chemical substances become more regulated, industry requires mechanisms to identify potential business continuity risks, posed by increased regulation. A chemical reporting system is one such mechanism that identifies chemical substances used on their (i) own, (ii) in mixtures, (iii) in materials, (iv) in internally defined articles (products) and (v) from articles (products) procured from the supply chain. The chemical reporting system will contrast product related information against chemical regulation substance lists, identifying the applicable reporting obligations and potential supply chain risks.

“…Workers should be trained to understand about Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) which can be a guide for handling the chemicals. Metallic tools must be avoided while handling chemicals [5]. Even the accident rate is high, these industries rehabilitate as soon and it fulfils ninety percentage of the worldwide requirement of firework products.…”

A review on hazards and their consequences in firework industries

Most of the firework products that India consumes are manufactured from Sivakasi, a town in Virudhunagar district in the state of Tamil Nadu. The manufacturing process in the firework industries involves manual handling of various chemicals. Hence firework industries are known to be highly hazardous. The aim of this article is to review the hazards involved in the firework industries, causes for accidents and effects of fireworks in air quality. Majority of the previous studies focussed on unsafe acts and unsafe conditions and reported that human error was the major reason for the accident to occur. But there was no proven research that the firework accidents were only due to human error. In addition to this, risk assessment plays a vital role to mitigate accidents. So in order to evaluate the hazards in firework industries, Risk Assessment for Safety and Health and Chemical Health Risk Assessment techniques can be adopted as they are associated with both safety and health risk. Hence from this review study it was observed that, conducting risk assessment and identifying the probable human error in each process will prevent further accidents.

“…Chemical regulations look to ensure chemical substance usage is identified, tracked and where applicable controlled or restricted (Regulation of Chemicals wiki, 2017). The evolution of chemical regulations such as the European Union (EU) Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) (European Commission, 2002; European Commission, 2011); EU Registration Evaluation Authorisation and restriction of CHemicals (REACH) (European Commission, 2006) and other international regulations has facilitated the need to record and manage increasingly large amounts of chemical substance related information (Selin, 2011;Molander and Rudén, 2012;Sivaprakash, Karthikeyan, Joseph, 2014). Chemical regulations exist to control and limit the use of hazardous chemicals; to protect the welfare of humans; the environmental and therefore society.…”

Chemical regulations exist to control hazardous chemical substance use within society. As more chemical substances become more regulated, industry must adapt and develop mechanisms to analyze and report data on substances used on their own, in mixtures or within materials. A chemical substance reporting system is required to ensure compliance by identifying the chemical substances used within a product, which can then be compared against regulated chemical substance lists to identify potential business risks, as well as providing safety data to consumers. This paper contributes to material compliance reporting literature by identifying a research gap and presenting a framework model to enable chemical substance information to be collated (internal and external) to allow for accurate chemical substance reporting.
