What is Coatings Care®?
Coatings Care®: The Coatings Industry's Health, Safety and Environmental Programs
Technological advances in the paint and coatings industry over the past 50 years have resulted in a wide variety of durable, highly visible and long-lasting products, which meet customer demand for safety, reliability, and environmental protection. Coatings manufacturers also emphasize environmental protection in new product development, seeking technologies that offer improved product performance along with safety and reduced environmental impact.
While health, safety and environmental requirements have become an integral part of doing business, companies now must effectively integrate these requirements, while at the same time, implementing sound business strategies that will provide for expansion and market growth. That is the focus of Coatings Care® , a landmark initiative.
Coatings Care® provides a framework for companies to incorporate health, safety and environmental decision-making into planning, operations, and practices. This ensures that participating companies:
- More effectively use organizational and management resources for compliance with health, safety and environmental regulations;
- Integrate consideration of health, safety and environmental resource information in organizational planning and operations; and
- Access health, safety and environmental management practices and resources being used or considered on an international basis.
