Hazmat Safety Priorities for Retailers

Health, Safety, Security, and Sustainability Risks

Beyond regulatory compliance, the retail of hazardous materials and dangerous goods carries health, safety, security and sustainability risks requiring management at a corporate level, including:

• People, Environment, Assets and Reputation (PEAR) risks
• Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) risks
• Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risks
• Responsible Care® risks
• Business Continuity (BC) risks
