Posted: Tue Dec 17, 2024 6:10 am
The American Chemistry Council (ACC) updated a key aspect of its Responsible Care® Safety Code last year. Originally published in June 2002, the ACC Responsible Care Safety Code provides a framework for its members to improve the safety and security of their chemical operations throughout the supply chain. As a mandatory requirement for ACC membership, compliance with the Responsible Care program and its management system (the Responsible Care Management System (RCMS) ® ) or RC14001 ® ) is assessed by third-party auditors.
In its recent update to the Security Code, a Management Practice was added to emphasize investor database Crisis Management Planning.

CHEMTREC is pleased to support this initiative with the release of our Crisis and Emergency Management Guide for the Chemical Sector. This document, developed by our Crisis Response Team, is designed to support organizations that are members of the CCT and Responsible Care® Partners in implementing their management practices. The document also provides step-by-step guidance for those seeking to implement a new crisis and emergency management program, or for those seeking to review their current program.
Gareth Black, CHEMTREC Senior Crisis Advisor and one of the authors of the document, said, “When we developed the document, we knew it needed to work for everyone. Our experience in supporting and guiding companies with their crisis programs shows that those tasked with implementing such guidance and preparing their organizations have a wide range of knowledge and experience levels. This document aims to address that by providing an easy-to-follow process that organizations can implement to develop their program and ultimately protect their organization in the worst-case scenario. We are excited to launch this and support the performance initiatives of the American Chemistry Council and its Responsible Care program.”
