3. Role of PEZA in the movement of locally purchased chemicals into the economic zones
The PEZA Zone Offices may conduct random check of the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) of locally purchased chemicals and its corresponding delivery receipt and request for a copy of the appropriate permits whenever applicable.
The PEZA Environment, which refers to the Environmental Health and Safety Division (EHSD) at the public economic zones and the Environmental Safety Group (ESG) at the Head Office shall, during annual compliance monitoring, check if chemicals (whether locally purchased or imported) have appropriate permits from concerned regulatory agencies.
Appropriate sanctions shall be imposed by PEZA on flagrant violations of permit and/or license requirements of concerned government agencies.
