5. Distribution Code Purpose To reduce the risk of harm posed by the distribution of chemicals to the general public; to carrier, distributor, contractor and chemical industry employees; and to the environment.

6. Relation to RC Guiding Principles To lead our companies in ethical ways that increases the benefits to society by protecting our people, environment and community.

7. Relation to RC Guiding Principles To counsel customers and stakeholders on the safe use, transportation and disposal of chemical products.

8. Relationship to Guiding Principles To promote the principles and practices of Responsible Care® by sharing experiences and offering assistance to others who produce, handle, use, transport or dispose of chemicals.

9. The code will also promote improvements in:  employee preparedness and awareness in preventing distribution emergencies;  the EHS&S and emergency response performance of carriers and other providers of distribution services;  the public’s preparedness in responding to chemical distribution emergencies;  the public’s understanding of, and confidence in, industry efforts to improve chemical distribution safety The code will also promote improvements in:  employee preparedness and awareness in preventing distribution emergencies;  the EHS&S and emergency response performance of carriers and other providers of distribution services;  the public’s preparedness in responding to chemical distribution emergencies;  the public’s understanding of, and confidence in, industry efforts to improve chemical distribution safety Management Practices

12. I NTRODUCTION TO G UIDANCE M ANUAL Guidance There are generally two types of risk assessment techniques, quantitative and qualitative, that can be used to evaluate chemical distribution risks. The quantitative technique relies on statistical data and numerous calculations to develop a mathematical prediction of an incident occurring and the expected exposure resulting from an incident. The qualitative technique relies on the experience and judgment of knowledgeable people to analyze the causes and the effects of incidents and releases in order to determine appropriate ways to reduce their likelihood or consequences. In either case, the assessment should include analysis of the hazards of the chemical being distributed, the likelihood of incidents and releases, and the implications of these releases for the public and the environment.

13. I NTRODUCTION TO G UIDANCE M ANUAL SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES / EXAMPLES FOR MANAGEMENT PRACTICE 1.0 Example No. 1 Business sectors use a variety of methods to evaluate the risks involved in transporting their materials. These methods identify the material hazards and evaluate distribution risk and potential exposure of the public and environment. Methods of distribution, route of movement, and methods of containment should all be considered. Manufacturing sites share the responsibility of identifying risks, particularly risks that may be specific to the geographic location. An annual evaluation is done to review additional risks due to changes in the distribution patterns or the addition of new products. Example No. 2 Regular evaluations of chemical distribution risk means completing product specific risk assessments. 'Regular' means every two years for high risk materials, every 3 years for medium risk materials and every five years for low risk materials.
