3. Have a Security Management System containing the followingº:
• Description of working methods: work permits, change management, continuous training, establish work procedures, control of atmospheric emissions, acoustics, water tributary effects, maintenance control of the company…
• This system is audited once a year by the competent authority (Generalitat de Catalunya), through an external certifying entity that drafts a security opinion, which proposes improvements of obligatory compliance.
• Environmental authorization inspected by entities external to Comercial Godó.
4. At the product level all the substances commercialized by Comercial Godó are documented according to the current regulations of classification (CLP 1272/2008) and REACH (Regulation of the European Union 1907/2006) on registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of substances and chemical mixtures. Its main objective is to improve the protection of human health and the environment against the risk that may be involved in the manufacture, marketing and use of chemicals and their mixtures.
5. Have two internal security counselors that guarantee that the ADR loading, unloading and transportation is done correctly.

- Explosive precursors are substances, such as hydrogen peroxide (oxygenated water), acetone or sulfuric acid among others, which are used by consumers as well as industries. It is of great importance that all companies throughout the supply chain, including the trade sector, must know their obligations in relation to these products to prevent them from being used in the illicit manufacturing of explosives
Attached is an explanatory letter, a leaflet distributed by CITCO for companies, the Declaration of Use for oxygenated water and the Declaration of Use of nitric acid.
