The stakeholders for consultation on the recommended actions to be taken to conform with Product Stewardship Requirements were identified as:

Employees and contractors

Local community organisation

The representation from employees and contractors participation have lead to the development, implementation, review and improvement of HSE initiatives and programmes, the establishment of HSE goals and targets, and the review and verification of HSE performance.

 Review Records on Implementation of Product Stewardship Management

There are many examples of records which can be review to demonstrate the organization’s implementation of product stewardship management.

However, in this assignment, i will only discuss the following records which include:

• Record of use of chemical during product development
• Record of disposal of waste chemical

An effective control of chemical risks at the workplace requires an efficient flow of, information from the manufacturers or importers to the users of chemicals on potentia lhazards and on the safety precautions to be taken.

For record of disposal of waste chemical, l would relate this requirement with the Singapore Environmental Public Health (Toxic Industrial Waste) Regulations, Register 6,where it imposed the legal requirement of waste generators to keep a register as stipulated below:

Generator to keep register

6.—(1)  Every generator shall keep a register which shall contain the following particulars in respect of toxic industrial waste:

(a)the type and quantity generated;

(b)the manner of disposal;

c)the date and the quantity supplied or sold to a «toxic «industrial «waste collector;

(d)the name and address of the «toxic «industrial «waste collector; and

(e)the quantity held in stock.

2)  The register shall be kept up to date on a weekly basis unless otherwise specified by the Director-General and shall be kept for such period of time as the Director-General may direct.

As for record of use of chemical during product development, i would assume the safety datasheet of a particular chemical was review to gain a better understanding of the chemicals HSE risks and exposure to the end user.
