Preparing for Inspection under REACH and CLP - Day 1

The growing number and complexity of regulations – and the push for operational transparency – means that organisations are increasingly seeking comprehensive means to ensure compliance control. We will explore how businesses can make that transition from imposed regulation to proactive ‘risk’ management through the development of an integrated management system. The aim of such a system is to both minimise risk and maximise opportunities.

Again working in groups, attendees will take part in an activity that will help them to use the identified risks from the previous exercise in session two, and broaden this out to include risks to stakeholder relationships, human health and the environment. They will then learn how we can evaluate these risks and identify controls.

This session will explore:

• ISO-compliant management systems and integration models;
• the role of ISO 19600;
• risk management as an underlying concept;
• SWOT and PEST analysis;
• the risk evaluation process;
• measuring and monitoring compliance; and
• automating monitoring efforts.

Good preparation is the key to a successful inspection and this starts with a commitment to compliance and an ability to demonstrate it. In this last session we will consolidate the material covered throughout the day, and finish off the workshop by exploring how to:

• Put together checklists to prepare for an inspection
• Gather documentation to support an inspection on the day
