  20. Your Right To Know Your Rights • Right to know about hazards of your work environment • Whether or not you are exposed to: • Hazardous chemicals • Harmful physical agents (like heat, noise, radiation) • Infectious/Contagious agents (like human blood or bodily fluids) • You have a right to know: • Whether or not you are exposed • Degree of that exposure, if any • Hazards of these exposures • Methods to protect yourself

  21. Your Right To Know Our Right to Know Program • Our program includes: • A listing of hazards • Material Safety Data Sheets • Hazard labeling • Training, including routine and non-routine tasks • Other information

  22. Your Right To Know Hazard labeling • All hazardous chemicals must be stored in properly labeled containers. • Trade name and a hazard warning

  28. AWAIR GOALS • AWorkplace Accident and Injury Reduction Act • Reduce our reportable injuries by 25% • Maintain 8-10 trained CPR/AED/FA employees • Implement a reward/discipline program • Update equipment for safety and ergonomics

  29. REACH • REACH is a new European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use (EC 1907/2006). It deals with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical substances. The new law entered into force on 1 June 2007, but initial implementation goes through 2013 • Pre-Registration, Registration, Only Representative

  30. What is ISO 14001:2004? Standards contribute to making the development, manufacturing and supply of products and services more efficient, safer and cleaner. ISOS is a Greek word meaning equal ISO’s goal is to facilitate the international coordination and unification of industrial standards (over 15,000 standards) 14001 Standard is primarily concerned with "environmental management". This means what the organization does to minimize harmful effects on the environment caused by its activities, and continually to improve its environmental performance. Cortec Corporation was one of the first companies in Minnesota to become ISO 14001:1996 certified in 1998

  31. Cortec Corporation Environmental Policy Statement At Cortec Corporation World Headquarters, we are committed to: *Developing, implementing and reviewing a plan that defines the organization’s environmental goals, objectives and targets *Preventing environmental pollution and conservation problems *Conserving natural resources through reclamation and recycling *Complying with all legal and other requirements that apply to the organization’s operations related to its environmental aspects *Continual improvement of the environmental performance of our products, services, and processes *Assisting our customers in dealing with environmental challenges *The continued development of products that are created from sustainable resources

  32. EMS Policy Statement Summary 1) Conforming to all local, state, and federal regulations which apply to Cortec’s operation 2) Commitment to continual prevention of pollution and waste whenever possible 3) Developing environmentally friendly products from renewable resources

  37. What Significant Aspects Do We Monitor?

  38. Renewable Resource Use • When a sustainable resource like soy bean oil or limonene or lactate esters are utilized in place of oil type solvents our environment gains by the replacement of mineral based solvents and disposal of natural type solvents is better for the environment • Whenever feasible, renewable resources will be used in new product development at Cortec. • Cortec personnel can promote these items over similar non-renewable resource items. Brochures highlighting these materials should be maintained to help with this process. The usage will be tracked.

  39. Biodegradable Resource Use • When biodegradable film is available, plastic may be composted, which is a benefit to the environment. Whenever feasible, new films will be made with biodegradable materials. • Cortec has two issued patents on the use of BDG bags prepared with a vapor corrosion control feature. Cryogenic capability has been identified and a use patent filed. • Other biodegradable products will also be used whenever feasible in non-film products. • Cortec personnel can promote these items over similar non-biodegradable resource items. Brochures highlighting these materials should be maintained to help with this process. The usage will be tracked.

  40. LEED - The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building Rating System™ USGBC-U.S. Green Building Council A voluntary certification program that can be applied to any building type and any building lifecycle phase. It promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in key areas: Sustainable SitesWater Efficiency Energy & Atmosphere Materials & ResourcesIndoor Environmental Quality Locations & Linkages LEED Certified 26-32 Points Silver Level 33-38 Points Gold Level 39-51 Points Platinum Level 52 + Points
