Risk Characterization is Part of Product Stewardship



Product Stewardship includes managing the health, safety and environmental (HSE) aspects of a product throughout its total life cycle. As a member of the International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA) and the American Chemistry Council (ACC), Bayer MaterialScience (BMS) supports and participates in two important chemical industry initiatives, which aim to ensure that society continues to benefit from our innovations, while health, safety, and the environment are protected and sustained:

Responsible Care® - Globally, the chemical industry has made a voluntary commitment to continuously improve product stewardship performance through Responsible Care®.

The Global Product Strategy (GPS) - Developed to improve Product Stewardship, throughout the total lifecycle—from manufacture to supplier to downstream user—GPS requires shared responsibility and participation for developing and gathering HSE information about each chemical product, and making it available to the public.

In line with our commitments to Responsible Care® and GPS, worldwide BayCare® users can access HSE information for BMS products, and our customers can learn more about how to handle them safely with resources like Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) and Product Safety Summaries.

Each Product Safety Summary features straight-forward explanations of potential hazards and exposure scenarios, as well as suitable use, safe handling, and risk management information.

Information sharing between industry, customers, and stakeholders is a key element of the GPS. Therefore, certain Product Safety Summaries are coordinated between two or more ACC associated manufacturers, and/or international agencies. Doing so helps to ensure that the information presented is as accurate, up-to-date, and reliable as possible.

Registered site users can access Risk Characterization information and Product Safety Summaries by clicking the "Product Safety Summaries" tab on the toolbar after logging in. Click here to log in and view this information.
