How does BASF enhance environmental health and safety at its plants?
BASF operates world-scale MDI plants in Antwerp, Geismar, Yeosu and Shanghai, which are designed to meet the highest level of safety standards. The proposed plant in Chongqing will benefit from decades of experience, and incorporating all the latest learning in terms of technical and EHS expertise. The focus lies on primary safety measures. This means, we install equipment to shut down the plant automatically in case of a malfunction. These primary safety measures are backed by secondary safety provisions designed to ensure that impacts are minimized in the event of an incident. This makes BASF’s safety systems among the highest in the world.
