About the course

General information

  • Why take this course

    Progressively eliminating hazardous chemicals used in the production process and ensuring a safe working environment for employees is a key priority in the materials supply chain. However, many factories are struggling to implement a robust chemical management system (CMS). This is, in part, due to the absence of a clear understanding of chemical restrictions in the industry and a lack of strict chemical purchasing policies and processes to better control, analyse and select chemicals and raw materials used in the production.

  • Course description

    This module "Chemical purchasing policy and restricted substances" is one of many modules that make up the Chemical Management System e-learning course. This module is designed to provide a good understanding of how brands can implement a robust RSL/MRSL policy across their supply chain and of how the manager in charge of CMS should lead the development of chemical purchasing processes, approve chemical suppliers, and revise proofs of compliance.
