Chemical Inventory
The Chemical Inventory is a technical document that records, in a complete and standardized manner, all the chemical products used in an industrial plant. It serves as the foundation for the safe control and management of these materials, facilitating the work of HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) departments.
The main objective of the CIM is to promote the efficient management of chemical products, mitigating risks related to their exposure, handling, storage, and disposal. A well-structured inventory contributes to:
- Preventing accidents such as explosions, fires, spills, and poisonings
- Reducing improper handling that can cause occupational health damage
- Avoiding incorrect disposal, preserving the environment, and complying with legal requirements
