Health & Safety and REACh

Health & Safety

At F2 Chemicals Ltd, it is our collective goal to eliminate all injuries, occupational illnesses, unsafe practices and incidents of environmental harm from our activities. The health and safety of our employees, the local community and the environment is the number one priority of F2 Chemicals Ltd. We believe that our work is never so urgent or important that we cannot take the time to do it safely and in an environmentally responsible manner.

F2 Chemicals Ltd is currently a Lower Tier COMAH (Control Of Major Accident Hazards) site, we have internal management systems that include comprehensive Environment, Health and Safety and Quality (EHS&Q) policies and strive to comply with all applicable legislation.

Our Health and Safety Policy Statement provides comprehensive guidelines for employees.

REACh

REACh stands for the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicalsis and is a regulation relating to the safe use of chemicals and the identification of their hazards. It originates in the EU (EC 1907/2006), but other regions have adopted similar regulations with that name. Following Brexit, the UK has its own version.

F2 Chemicals is fully compliant with REACh in the EU and in the UK. We are lead registrant for several perfluorocarbons (all those that we produce in quantities of over 1 tonne per year) in the UK. In the EU, our Only Representative (OR), Yordas, is lead registrant on our behalf (until 2025, Chementors was our OR in the EU).
