In industries related to the chemical sector, these parameters should be known and remembered by all employees right from the security guard to CEO of the company. This can be ensured by creating awareness regarding Occupational health and safety, development of safe working practices, hazard identification and risk assessment at an early stage and an effective evacuation plan in case of any emergency. Compliance to standards such as ISO45001, OHSAS18001, etc. must also be taken into consideration. It can be achieved by implementing an effective Visual Management system in the chemical company.
Visual management can bring about a change in mindset necessary to ensure the workplace health and safety and increase the overall performance in a chemical manufacturing factory. Apart from Area Identification boards and various safety signs, Visuals on Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), Safety instructions, Work Instructions & Displays creating safety awareness can be a gentle reminder to all the employees at all moments. Chemical Storage and handling parameters can be efficiently displayed through visualization to make sure employees are aware of chemical hazards and take appropriate action just in time.
