HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE CONTROL (HSC) A PRACTICAL WORKSHOP FOR QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL
Do you know?
■ The modern textile industry is a typical chemical processing industry, e.g. the European textile industry is based on about 15,000 complex chemical formulations (Chemical Guide, AFIRM, 2011)
■ Around 9.3 million tons/year of chemicals were used in global textile productions (2014 data, Grandview Research, USA)
■ Nearly 1/4 of the chemicals produced worldwide are used directly or indirectly for textiles (Greenpeace Germany)
■ Waste water in production: up to 600 l/kg textile
ADDRESSING CURRENT STATE OF THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY
HSC is a pioneering workshop developed by SGS to train personnel and professionals in the textile and leather supply chain to advance the industry’s knowledge and best practices in chemical management. With the goal of zero discharge by 2020, industry experts and stakeholders are getting together to seek effective solutions.
However, there is a technical gap within the supply chain in that factories may not have the appropriate expertise and the capability to support the implementation for Zero Discharge:
■ Knowledge & Know-how■ Critical Point Identifications■ Experience
In addition to the technical gaps within the supply chain, oftentimes information about the chemical is opaque. Thus posing challenges in supply chain traceability. An effective chemical management system is important to support the safe use of the chemicals and ensure the transparency and traceability of the supply chain.
WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO TACKLE CHEMICAL MANAGEMENT CHALLENGE?
To ensure a more environmentally sustainable future, it is important to tackle these challenges by implementing an effective chemical management system within your supply chain, such as ■ Enhancing technical knowledge and ability of the textile manufacturing process■ Identifying the chemical risk and critical control points ■ Building a chemical inventory to track and record the chemical use in the production■ Enhancing transparency and traceability through greater chemical control■ Fulfilling restricted substances regulations■ Implementation of best practices to enhance factory management effectively■ Optimizing factory management system to ensure continual improvement
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE CONTROL (HSC) A PRACTICAL WORKSHOP FOR QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL
The use of chemicals in the textile manufacturing process is crucial in order for the manufacturer to achieve the desired finishing such as colour, hand-feel, water-resistance and many more. At each stage of the manufacturing process, different types of chemical types are used to achieve the desire condition for which materials can be processed further.
Chemicals are used at each stage of the manufacturing process:
DO YOU KNOW CHEMICALS ARE EXTENSIVELY USED IN GARMENT PRODUCTION?
A PIONEERING TRAINING WORKSHOP TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
SGS Hazardous Substance Control (HSC) workshop is a practical chemical management workshop designed to be process-specific (such as dyeing & printing, washing and finishing etc.). Uses the concept Chemical Flow Management (CFM) methodology, it allows participants to assess chemical risk at each stage of the production.
During the HSC workshop, the participants will be provided with a CFM toolkit that:
■ Provides valuable templates & guidelines
■ Aids data tracking, recording and taking measures on chemical use
■ Helps identify and discover inherent risks before and during production, minimising overall risk.

TRAINING COURSE OUTLINE OVERVIEW
Hazardous Substances Control Training consists of two main parts:
■ Knowledge & Know-how: Latest knowledge in chemical risk identification and best practices for each stage of the manufacturing process ■ CFM Toolkit Utilisation: Tools allowing participant to conduct risk analysis at their own factory
These two parts are applied to each stage of the manufacturing process starting from input, in-process, and output to ensure its practicality and support factory on risk assessment.
