Map processes, emissions, effluent, hazardous storage and waste streams against existing authorisations and municipal conditions. Check whether any waste activity requires a licence and identify historic contamination, monitoring failures, notices or remediation costs.

Inspect the chemical inventory, safety data sheets, labels, risk assessments, exposure monitoring, ventilation, training and medical surveillance. Verify controls for mixed exposures, spills, incompatible storage and hazardous waste under the 2021 HCA Regulations.

Classify each product by intended use before relying on general factory approvals. Disinfectants, agricultural chemicals, cosmetics, food-contact materials, fuels or regulated consumer products may require different registrations, testing, labels and responsible entities.

Review fire approval, bunding, ventilation, emergency plans, spill records, incompatible materials, contractor reports and insurer requirements. Confirm coverage for pollution, product liability and business interruption, noting exclusions or overdue risk improvements.

Confirm ownership and transfer of formulations, process parameters, software and laboratory methods. Trace selected batches through raw materials, production, testing, release, complaints and rework, checking access controls and dependence on key chemists.

Rebuild margins using current resin, chemicals, energy, additives, packaging, scrap and regrind yields. Determine whether products fall within an extended producer responsibility scheme, then include registration, recovery and compliance costs in forecasts.
