Meeting Responsible Care® requirements takes more than good intentions. It needs a structured approach. That’s why the American Chemistry Council (ACC) requires members to implement a Responsible Care® management system.  

TenForce makes this easier. Our unified EHSQ system brings everything together—so you can manage safety, environmental responsibility, continuous improvement, and ultimately Responsible Care® compliance, all in one place. 

A single solution for Responsible Care compliance 

With TenForce, everything is connected—so instead of chasing data across different systems, you can focus on what really matters: safety, sustainability, and continuous improvement. Our modular EHSQ software helps you manage key Responsible Care® processes seamlessly. 

Closing the loop on incidents 

When an incident happens—whether it’s a spill, a near miss, or a workplace injury—you need to capture the details fast. With TenForce, incident reporting happens in real-time. Employees can log issues directly into the system, triggering automatic follow-ups like root cause investigations and corrective actions. Everything is documented, traceable, and ready for reporting.  

Staying on top of compliance 

By integrating with regulatory intelligence providers, like Enhesa, TenForce helps track federal, state (TCEQ, OSHA, EPA), and local regulations. And with Compliance Management you can track all your compliance actions and deadlines in one place.  

Whether it’s preparing for a Responsible Care® audit or ensuring a process safety management review is up to date, the system gives a clear view of what’s completed and what still needs attention. 

Keeping employees trained and certified 

A key part of Responsible Care® is making sure employees are properly trained on safety protocols, chemical handling, and emergency response. 

With TenForce, you can assign and track required training, send automatic reminders for recertifications, and generate reports to show compliance. No more chasing people down or digging through old records, everything is organized and accessible. 

Monitoring your environmental impact  

Monitoring emissions, tracking waste disposal, and complying with environmental regulations is a big part of Responsible Care®. With TenForce, you can automate reporting for air and water emissions, as well as hazardous waste tracking. No more scrambling to compile data for an annual report—your environmental performance is always up to date.  

Managing risk proactively 

A proactive approach to identifying and managing risks is a cornerstone of the Responsible Care® initiative. 

Whether it’s assessing chemical hazards, evaluating work permits, conducting job safety analyses (JSAs), or tracking contractor safety performance, with TenForce structured risk assessments are built in. This helps you identify risks early and take action before they turn into incidents. 

Staying audit-ready 

Audits and inspections are a fact of life when managing Responsible Care® commitments. Whether it’s a scheduled internal review or a third-party visit, being prepared means having everything organized and up to date. 

With TenForce, you can schedule and track audits, log findings, and assign corrective actions in one place. No more last-minute document hunts—everything is stored, tracked, and ready when you need it.  

Handling chemicals properly 

Responsible Care® requires that employees and communities are protected from chemical risks through proper labeling, storage, and handling. 

TenForce helps you keep an up-to-date record of all chemicals on site, track Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and manage hazard communication requirements—all in one place. And, with built-in risk assessments, you make better decisions about chemical storage, handling, and transport. 

Holding contractors to the same standard 

Your Responsible Care® commitments don’t stop at your internal team—contractors need to meet the same high safety and environmental standards. TenForce makes it easy to track contractor certifications, safety records, and compliance with site requirements. 

Before a contractor steps on-site, you’ll know if they have the right training and up-to-date certifications, and a solid safety track record. And if issues arise, corrective actions are logged and tracked, ensuring accountability. 

Turning issues into improvements 

Continuously improving safety and environmental performance is central to Responsible Care®. That’s where Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) Management comes in. 

With TenForce, every reported issue—whether it’s an audit finding, a near miss, or an equipment failure—triggers an action plan. The system automates root cause analysis, assigns corrective actions, and tracks follow-ups so that problems are truly resolved. 

Meeting Responsible Care® commitments with TenForce 

Safer operations, environmental responsibility, and continuous improvement are big commitments, and without the right tools, they can be tough to manage.  

With TenForce, there’s no need to juggle multiple systems or chase down missing data. Whether you’re preparing for an audit, monitoring emissions, or ensuring contractors meet your safety standards, our platform makes Responsible Care® management easier, more efficient, and fully integrated into your daily operations. Instead of getting lost in admin, you can focus on making real improvements. 

Because at the end of the day, Responsible Care® isn’t just about meeting standards—it’s about building a safer, more sustainable future. And that’s the TenForce mission.
