Chemical business is reputed for having a bad image at least among a large number of people, largely due to the environmental hazard it creates and the danger it poses to their health. But reputation is only one of the factors that make ISO standards so crucial for the chemical business.
For manufacturers it is necessary to make every effort to uphold environmental, health, and safety standards while maintaining high standards for process effectiveness. Alok Industries have their business in Development & Manufacturing of Colour & Additive Masterbatches & Polymer Compounds, have takenhelp of ISO standards to change the diminishing situation of Chemical Business.
Alok Industries focus on continual improvement, customer centric approach, and consistency of goods and services are all guaranteed by the quality management standard ISO 9001:2015.
Along with that is an environmental management standard, ISO 14001:2015, that improves environmental performance, assures adherence to environmental laws, and accomplishes environmental goals. The chemical sector benefits from ISO Standards in numerous ways like
1. Superior
With ISO 9001:2015 certificate consumers can expect high-quality goods and services since all materials, goods, and processes are compliant with this standard. It promotes the prestige of their business and maintains global consistency.
2. Complying with legal regulations
Alok Industries has shown that it complies with all applicable laws and rules, whether they be local, national, or otherwise, in order to fulfil ISO requirements. List all legal requirements that their business must adhere to, and indicate if they are in compliance or not.
If not then they must make a plan of action on how to comply and take action to implement that plan. This guarantees that their company across the sector adhere to accepted legal and regulatory requirements.
3. Managing the effects on the environment
Being compliant with ISO 14001:2015 standard also means following environmental laws and minimising their environmental impact. This increases the efficiency of the industry in terms of energy utilisation, waste reduction, and recycling techniques. Additionally, it implies that the organisation will grow more adept at batch manufacturing so they won’t overproduce and create useless goods.
4. Risk reduction
Organisations conforming to ISO standards involve recognizing potential risks early on in the product development process, such as those related to raw material quality and handling, storage, potential dangers, etc.
Apart from that desire of workers to be in a safe workplace where they work each day and leave in good health. According to the law, employers must determine the risks posed by the work, the tools, and the equipment and then take the necessary precautions to protect workers’ health.
The Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS), commonly known as ISO 45001, is the first international standard in the world for organising occupational health and safety effectively.
The goals of ISO 45001:2018 are to make workplaces safer and healthier for workers and other people under its authority.
Organisations can continuously improve their safety and health practices by using the PDCA paradigm (Plan – Do – Check – Act).
General containment of risks to workers’ health and safety. Increased productivity and effectiveness in protecting workers’ health.
Compliance with ISO 45001:2018 has enhanced their occupational health and safety procedures, which will lower workplace accidents, sick days, and absenteeism. The implementation of the standard also allows for cost reductions for businesses.
Alok Industries is experiencing that certification has increased the company’s ability to control safety and health conditions while also promoting compliance with the criteria.
All of these advantages for their industry has helped customers and end users by reassuring them that the goods are trustworthy and safe to use.
