Official Information:

This course is designed to introduce you to the new Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008) which sets-out the new requirements for the classification, labelling and packaging of chemical substances and mixtures. The Regulation came into force on 20 January 2009 and some requirements impact on businesses immediately whilst others come into effect in the future. The CLP Regulation implements the Globally Harmonised System for the classification and labelling of chemicals (GHS) in the EU.

The course is presented by Andrew Fasey who was a member of the IOMC (Inter-Organisational programme for the sound Management of Chemicals) drafting group which prepared the GHS.

During the day you will have the opportunity to interact with other delegates and the presenter, and discuss issues surrounding the CLP regulation and how to plan for and implement it within your company.
