Health, Safety & Environment

Hempel's Health, Safety and Environment Department acts as a service function to the HEMPEL Group. Based at the new R&D facilities, their main fuction is to compile data on any health risks pertaining to paint raw materials. Using advanced computer systems, information on coatings is gathered and warning labels, transport classifications and safety data sheets are produced, in compliance with Danish, EU and World-wide regulation and legislation.

The Health, Safety and Environment Department keeps in close contact with legislative authorities throughout the world and participates in a number of working groups within the Danish and EU Paintmakers Association. This co-operation makes it possible to support customers in areas such as handling of wet paint, application of paint and protective precautions.
