Cefic Responsible Care Management Framework (RCMF)

The Cefic RCMF is based on the Deming Cycle of “Plan, Do, Check and Act” and takes into account the requirements of existing recognised management systems standards such as ISO14001, OHSAS18001, EMAS and ISO9001.

It defines the minimum requirements for Responsible Care that should be considered by the chemical company or site and where appropriate their existing management system can be enhanced to fill any gap.

It helps define policies, objectives, priorities and performance targets.

It is especially useful for companies that have yet to put a management system in place.

Cefic Responsible Care Self Assessment Guidance & Questionnaire

The Cefic RC Self Assessment guidance & questionnaire assist chemical companies assess their performance in Environment, Health, Safety & Security. Each section starts with a key statement which describes the overall goal followed by a series of questions which enable people to think about what they are doing and what they are not doing and how and why they can substantiate their position.

Having completed the self assessment the document then helps people to score the level of implementation in each section and to check the overall score of their company’s implementation of Responsible Care. “Spiders’ web” diagrams help visually present the results.
