List of Companies established by the Ministry of Labor of the Kingdom of Jordan. It is also a member of ILO-
IFC Better Work Program.

1.2 Purpose of This Manual

This Manual Defines the Environmental Management System (EMS) Of Organization Textile activities and
Contains:
1. Understanding Our Business One/ Its Potential Impact
2. The Context of the Organization
3. Leadership on Commitment
4. The Environmental Policy
5. Statements of Responsibility and Authority
6. An overview of The Company’s Environmental procedures and Controls/S;
7. The Identification of the Resources and Trailing Allocated to Management, Performance of the work
and Verification Activities Including Internal Audit;
8. The Appointment of the Environmental Management Representative (EMR); And

Page 4 of 12
The Purpose Of This Manual Is To Demonstrate That This Ems Meets. All ISO14001:2015 Requirements And
Provide Guidance And Direction For The Implementation And Operation Of The EMS To All Personnel
Including All Relevant Documents.

1.3 Scope of the environmental management system

The scope of the EMS applies to the business activates related to the textile products provided Undertaken
by CFAI. Also the locations and areas to be covered in the EMS. CFAI also endeavor to pursue strategy
that not only encompasses all our activities but also that of our suppliers and customers and
stakeholders. In doing this we aim to influence our impact on the environment not only of our business but
of all business and organizations that we use or interact with.

2.0 Chemical Storage
• What chemicals are needed?

• Where will chemicals be stored?

• Have the hazards been evaluated?

• Storage facility design considered?

• What measures can be taken to mitigate risk?

2.1Where are Chemicals Stored?

1. Laboratories
2. Warehouses
3. Gas cylinders
4. Storage tanks
5. Hazardous waste

2.2Chemical Storage Hazards

Hazards depend on:

1. Chemical quantity.
2. Chemical concentration
3. Chemical properties (State: gas, liquid, cryogenic )(Flash point, vapor density, vapor pressure)
4. Stability/reactivity (Compatibility, Reactive/water,Pyrophoric,Pol)
5. Storage conditions (Temperature and pressure)
