Symposium Information

This will be the fourth in a series of Safety Training Program Workshops held in conjunction with the biennial IUPAC Congress and General Assembly.

The Safety Training Program allows safety experts from developing countries to learn more about safety and environmental protective measures by visiting and working in plants of IUPAC Company Associates in the industrialized world.  The International Union of Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) with the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the United Nations International Development Organization (UNIDO) have established the Safety Training Program to disseminate state-of-the-art knowledge on safety and environmental protection in chemical production. The beneficiaries are expected to use the training in their home countries to improve health, safety and environment.

Each Trainee participant will be expected to submit an abstract for a brief oral paper to be presented at the Workshop; these abstracts will be critically reviewed before Trainees' applications for the Workshop will be accepted.  The critical review is intended to assure that the Trainees have made tangible progress on dissemination of learnings in their home countries.  In addition to the oral papers, the Workshop will include lectures by regional speakers who are expert in chemical health, safety and environmental protection.
