4 . Environmental health & safety (EHS)

Manufacturing naturally exposes our teams to chemical agents, high-voltage equipment, and mechanical hazards. A safe factory is fundamentally a prerequisite for a highly productive factory; it’s best to view injuries and environmental incidents as direct failures of process engineering.

This chapter covers the exact protocols for chemical handling (RoHS/REACH compliance), machine guarding, and hazardous waste disposal. Our goal is to enforce a culture where safety is engineered directly into the standard work from day one, rather than treated as an afterthought or a secondary compliance check.
