Abstract

In 1994, Oji Paper introduced its own New Raw Material Safety Sheets to improve the chemical substance management. Under this cutting-edge green procurement system, new raw materials are evaluated whether they can be safely handled by employees in our mills and used in our products, and also reviewed to prevent environmental pollution.<BR>The Oji Paper Group requests suppliers to provide our Safety Sheets ahead of the trial of new raw materials, and when they include substances that do not meet the criteria established, the trial can be stopped.<BR>JIS Z 7250 requires manufacturers and importers that sell chemical substances to provide Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) to customers, which contains information on the safety and proper handling of chemical substances. The Oji Paper Group obtains MSDS prior to the trial of new raw materials. However, it is often the case that the information on MSDS from suppliers is inadequate for assessing the raw materials to ensure the safety during production and use, and for complying with the green procurement of our customers. Accordingly, the system of our unique New Raw Material Safety Sheets is becoming more important in these days and progressing to attain our green procurement.
