5. The Crucial Steps To Follow
3 Collecting the toxicity information
Permissible Exposure Limits
Physical data
Reactivity data
Corrosivity data
Thermal and chemical stability data
Hazardous effects of inadvertent mixing of
materials that could foreseeably occur
4 Equipment in the Process
The facility must establish and implement written

5 Hazard Analysis
The facility must perform initial hazard analysis on
processes covered by this standard.
Analysis shall be appropriate to the process
complexities and shall identify, control and evaluate
hazards on-the-go.
Considerations such as extent of process, hazards,
number of potentially affected employees, age of
process and operating history of processes.
The facility must use:
• What – if scenarios
• Develop a checklist
• Hazard and Operability study (HAZOP)
• Failure mode and Effect analysis (FMEA)
6 The Facility must address
Technical basis of Change
Impact to employee safety and health
Modification to Operating Procedures
Time period of Change
Authorization of Change

As a company with sites in multiple European countries, we had to find a common way to communicate efficiently and
effectively. Using animation and the services of TECH EHS helped us facilitate this requirement. We used TECH EHS based on
a recommendation from a senior manager who had worked with the company previously. The support and assistance we
received in creating and perfecting our animations made TECH EHS a ‘go-to’ service provider.
