Whether they are a tannery, dye-house, mill, printer, footwear assembly unit, or other kind of facility, Suppliers can tailor and implement their plans to meet the harmonized expectations. The following topics are part of the ZDHC CMS TIG training curriculum:

1. Start of the CMS Journey - Preparation and Planning Chemical Management Policy Chemical Management Strategy Assessments (regulatory, chemical, supply chain, safer alternative)
2. Build Up through Action – Implementation Health & Safety Chemical Inventory Storage & Handling
3. Monitor and Accelerate - Review and Update Output Management (wastewater, sludge, air emission, solid waste) Process control Continuous Improvement

Learning objectives Having followed this training, the leaner will have learned how to:

Create a Policy document that outlines the commitment (statement) of the Supplier’s leadership and includes procedures and practices adopted for purchasing, transparency and traceability of chemicals used; Transform that policy into Strategy as part of implementing a chemical management system; Conduct Assessments of a supplier's regulatory compliance, chemical hazard and risk, supply chain partners’ capabilities and safer alternatives; Implement Health & Safety actions for chemical exposure control, PPE and emergency response procedures for all staff; Manage a Chemical Inventory List (CIL) and SDS to make informed purchasing decisions, promote responsible chemical use, increase traceability, simplify chemical handling decisions, and control disposal costs; Ensure safe Storage and Handling procedures for chemicals purchased; Use tools to manage Output with respect to wastewater, sludge, air and solid waste outputs. This will reduce pollution and support Process Control to ensure proper implementation of a CMS through holding and controlling records and documents, incidence management, general maintenance and housekeeping. Work on Continuous Improvement practices such as conducting a CMS review, internal or external audits and improvements in identified areas, including onsite training.
