INDSPEC does not typically provide end-use products, but instead sells its specialty chemicals to other manufacturers. INDSPEC's HESS program is designed to reduce and manage risks, and to promote the safe production, distribution, use and disposal of its products.

Product risk assessment process follows the Global Chemicals Management Policy (GCMP) framework, an internationally recognized system for identifying chemical product information needs. MSDS for INDSPEC products are available for registered users only.

The risk for each specific chemical is based on scientific analysis of the hazard it poses and its likelihood of exposure to people or the environment. The products are evaluated and prioritized for potential adverse effects. Risk reduction practices are then implemented. These may include, for example, requiring employees to wear personal protective equipment during certain work tasks, and providing technical support to new customers to promote safe handling of our products. Communication is an important element of the product risk assessment process. INDSPEC promotes safe production and product handling and use through training and detailed information.

INDSPEC complies with Occidental Petroleum Corporation's (Oxy) Health, Environment & Safety policies and procedures. For a complete review of Oxy's policies and procedures, visit www.oxy.com.
