Recap……
By now you have……
Gained an understanding ofcommon principles
Seen why we have RSL’s
Seen some chemicals we control
Seen the consequences of failure

Sources of RestrictedChemicals
Raw Fibre, Ecru Yarns, GreigeFabric, Undyed Hides
Dyes and Chemicals
Ancillary Chemicals
Poor Process control

1 Fibre, Yarn, Fabric and Hides
Never Assume it’s clean….e.g.
Most silk contains APEO
Cotton and wool may contain pesticides
Some process oils are carcinogenic
Always verify your raw materials
Know what you bring in
Know what you put on
Know what you send out
5
2 Dyes and Chemicals
Most failures are due to dyesand chemicals that are…..
• Harmful themselves
• Contain significantconcentrations of harmfulchemicals
6
Someone KnowsWhat’s in the Drum !
Good suppliers know what’sthere (and should tell you)
MSDS essential….
But many have incompleteinformation
Many RSL failures due to non-deliberate application
Some companies don’t provideMSDS!
7
ChemicalManagement Risks
Unspecified chemicals in aformulation
Unlabelled drums in the store
Unlabelled buckets by themachine
..All a risk to our customersand your workers

3 Ancillary Chemicals
What are you using to….
Clean the machines?
Clean the floors?
Lubricate the machines?
Polish the tables?
Wrap the finished product?
Remove stains?
9
Ancillary Chemicals
Have you assessed your non-textile/ non-product chemicalinventory?
Many common householdproducts are not permitted on ourmerchandise

4 Inadequate Process Control
Dyeing and Finishing processes arechemical reactions
Poorly controlled reactions = Risk
Reactions are controlled by…
Ratio of reagents
Temperature
pH
Time
11
Common Control Issues
Inaccurate weighing anddispensing
Poor temperature control
Poor pH control
Poor humidity control
No written Standard OperatingProcedures
Unlabelled chemicals
