You are incharge of a major chemical plant manufacturing paints. At present the general
awareness about the mandatory requirements for chemical industry is very low. Even if the
compliance record is maintained, it is not disclosed to all employees, and nobody talks about
it.

Recently, there was a seminar in the company. Many experts from Industry associations like
Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) conducted the seminar. The dangers of non
compliance, ISO 14001 EMS certification, and Trade sanctions that are likely to increase
were discussed. Even the senior level managers were involved and a lot of serious
discussions took place. After a span of one month, you received a call from the senior
manager. The top management wants you to find out more about the ISO certification. As a
first step, the management wants you with the help of other employees to list the critical
aspects that have potential environmental impact.

pollution due to paint manufacture. You also recall the newspaper item on
internationalization of paint manufacturing practices.
