Managing Risks or Hazards Associated with Chemicals in Products
Health & Safety Commitment Parts Authority is committed to maintaining safe workplaces, and may issue guidelines at each location to achieve a safe, healthy, and environmentally conscious workplace in accordance with local laws and regulations. Team members are required to comply with all company rules and guidelines, as well as any applicable laws, while keeping their work areas free of potential hazards.
Parts Authority distributes third-party manufactured auto parts. Any health and safety risks related to the manufacturing of products with hazardous chemicals are not material to our operations. Still, to manage potential chemical-related risks involving products in our supply chain, Parts Authority primarily sells third-party products from known, regulated (U.S. and/or EU), quality, brand-name manufacturers. Such manufacturers disclose chemical information on product information sheets and they sell products regulated under the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Act. Parts Authority relies on manufacturers to test, certify and market their products based on applicable laws regarding banned or illegal substances. Additionally, we procure chemical management information, which is updated regularly using a third-party company. Finally, Parts Authority evaluates locations and relevant activities to ensure proper storage of all chemicals. We provide emergency response equipment such as eye wash stations, �rst aid kits, absorbent material and other tools and equipment.
