Chemical substance management

LT Metal operates a prevention-led management system to head off environmental and safety risks from chemicals before they arise and to achieve zero chemical accidents across all sites. Systematic procedures cover the introduction of new chemicals and their handling, storage, use, and disposal, and regular inspections and training continue to raise the standard of safety management. Alongside legal compliance, we aim to strengthen practical risk prevention and build safe, sustainable workplaces.

Chemical management system

Safe, transparent chemical management is a top priority at every LT Metal site. Our management system covers procurement, storage, use, and disposal and is linked to emergency response procedures, with each stage operated in line with the Chemical Substances Control Act and other applicable law.To prevent environmental and safety risks in the handling, storage, and transport of hazardous chemicals on site, we have established a management procedures covering the entire chemical lifecycle, from pre-review and storage to use and disposal. We also set personal protective equipment requirements and inspection intervals appropriate to each process to protect worker safety.

Stage	Scope	Owner	Inspection frequency
1. Pre-review	EHS (Environment, Health, Safety) review and regulatory check before a new chemical is introduced	Environmental Safety Team / process department	As required / periodic inspection
2. Storage management	• Inspection of storage area safety, ventilation, and leak containment devices	Process department	Periodic inspection
3. Use and handling	PPE worn by handlers, logging of quantities handled, monitoring for abnormal reactions	Work team / safety manager	Periodic inspection and continuous monitoring
4. Disposal and follow-up	Adequacy of waste treatment, review of discharge records, follow-up monitoring	Environmental Safety Team	Periodic review and corrective action

Pre-assessment and inspection

Before a new chemical is introduced, LT Metal runs an EHS pre-assessment covering hazard, reactivity, and environmental impact. We hold a material safety data sheet (MSDS) for every chemical and use it as the basis for safety management. Major handling facilities are equipped with monitoring systems including leak detectors and CCTV, and regular inspections identify abnormalities so that corrective action can be taken immediately.

Category	Inspection items
Storage facilities	Leaks, ventilation system operation, storage temperature
Handling processes	PPE worn, equipment leaks
Disposal processes	Waste classification and storage adequacy, compliance with disposal procedures
Monitoring systems	Detector operation, CCTV checks

Chemical safety training

LT Metal manages annual training plans and records for employees who handle and manage hazardous chemicals. Training is differentiated by role and combines statutory mandatory training with regular in-house training.
