Should new higher hazard substances be handled differently than other covered toxics in a TURA EMS?
Not necessarily. Toxics designated as Higher Hazard Substances that a company uses above reporting thresholds must be included and addressed in the same way as other covered toxics in the EMS. However, the higher hazard designation and focused attention of the TURA program on higher hazard substances may influence the priority a company places on setting objectives and targets in its EMS for such substances. For more information on Higher Hazard Substances, visit the TURI website at www.turi.org.
