Strengthening Compliance and Reducing Risk Exposure in a Specialty Chemicals Plant
- Specialty Chemicals Manufacturing
- Fast-growing specialty chemicals manufacturer
- Strengthening compliance and risk management in a rapidly expanding plant
Obstacles Our Experts Have Transformed into Opportunities
A specialty chemicals plant serving regulated industries (food-grade, pharma, and cosmetics) was expanding rapidly—but its compliance framework hadn’t kept pace:
Disorganized Compliance Documentation
Documentation was scattered across departments, with inconsistent formats and version control issues
Unclear Regulatory Ownership
Internal audits revealed unclear ownership of key regulatory processes (e.g., labeling, batch tracking, emissions control)
Missing Risk Register
The site lacked a structured risk register and had no methodology for prioritizing operational risks
Reactive Compliance Approach
Compliance actions were largely reactive, triggered only by client audits or near-misses
Compliance Seen as Burden
Employees viewed compliance as paperwork, not performance Without a unified compliance system, the company was exposing itself to regulatory, reputational, and operational risks.
Teec’s Expert-Led Solution
Our Experts deployed their Compliance & Risk Management Integration service to build a scalable, proactive compliance system:
What Our Experts Did
Designed a Compliance Control Framework aligning ISO, local, and customer-specific requirements
Consolidated all compliance documents into a digital system with version control and automated review cycles
Facilitated cross-departmental workshops to populate and validate a new risk register, prioritizing top 20 operational and regulatory risks
Developed a Compliance Calendar, ensuring timely execution of inspections, audits, and document renewals
Delivered training sessions to reframe compliance as a performance enabler, not a reporting burden
TEEC’s approach restructured compliance from a reactive burden into an organized, integrated management system.
Execution Approach by Teec’s Experts
They applied a structured compliance control and risk ownership model across the plant’s operations:
- Reviewed existing policies, audit findings, client complaints, and regulatory history
- Conducted interviews across production, quality, logistics, and HSE to surface undocumented risks
- Created a consolidated Compliance & Risk Register linked to process steps and responsibilities
- Developed a tiered Compliance Control Framework (CCF) aligned with ISO, OSHA, EPA, and client-specific standards
- Rewrote or updated 54 policies and procedures using standardized formats, approval workflows, and control indicators
- Created a Compliance Calendar with automated alerts for audits, permit renewals, and internal reviews
- Built a centralized digital compliance library with version control and role-based access
- Trained cross-functional teams on documentation management, non-conformity reporting, and incident response protocols
- Assigned Compliance Champions in each department with monthly risk review responsibilities
- Developed a real-time Compliance & Risk Dashboard with indicators for overdue actions, audit readiness, and control effectiveness
- Installed a feedback loop between risk events and preventive action updates
- Embedded compliance metrics into monthly operations reviews
