In-Plant EHS Self-Assessment for Flexographic Printers - Newly Updated & Revised
This straightforward and informative checklist is designed to help flexographic printers assess their present in-plant environmental, health and safety (EHS) status and material efficiency activities; and identify opportunities to reduce waste and protect employees.
For flexographic printers who are just beginning to track plant activities, this self-assessment serves as a preliminary diagnostic tool. All printers should use this tool on an on-going basis to document progress and sustained improvement. It is purposely formatted in a binder so that the sections can be removed and copied for subsequent assessments. It can also be used in obtaining SGP Printer certification.
Chapters cover all areas of a flexo facility, including:
General Maintenance
Computers
Product Design
Film Processing
Platemaking
Ink Delivery
Press Area
Finishing
Chemical Handling
Waste Water
Oxidizers
Shipping & Receiving
Facility Exterior
In many cases, the applicable federal regulation is indicated. The appendices provide links to additional resources on the topics covered in the assessment.
“Many members have asked for this updated version to better track their EHS and sustainability efforts. With the assistance of more than a dozen industry experts, we have made this document as comprehensive as possible,” comments FTA Director, Doreen M. Monteleone.
