What are the risks?

The use of hazardous materials and complex processes increases the likelihood of accidents, fires, and explosions.

Spills, emissions, and waste management can lead to significant environmental impacts and regulatory penalties.

Dependence on raw materials and global supply chains makes businesses vulnerable to disruptions that can halt production.

Defective products can cause harm and lead to costly recalls and legal battles.    

Adhering to stringent regulations requires continuous monitoring and adaptation, failing which can result in severe penalties.
