Developing Company Policies to Avoid the Use of Hazardous Materials

Companies can implement specific policies and programs to prevent the use of hazardous materials in their facilities. Regular updates to these programs and policies are essential to ensure their relevance. Additionally, if budget allows, employing environmental analysts who continuously evaluate new products and conduct alternative assessments can be a viable approach. Environmental analysts play a crucial role in identifying the most suitable substitutes, ensuring legal compliance, staying updated with emerging innovations and technologies, and more. A notable example of this practice is Seattle City Light, an electric utility company in Seattle.
