There are big challenges facing those responsible for chemical regulatory compliance. An expansion of the number and diversity of REACH-like regulations, competing deadlines, as well as changes in company structure, supply chains and the geopolitical landscape, has meant it is ever-more important to stay on top of regulatory changes.
This course will use the key principles of an Integrated Management System (Management of change & the PLAN, DO, CHECK, ACT model) to help equip you and your organisation to implement continual improvement and manage your compliance obligations.
As well as exploring how to take a proactive and integrated approach to chemical compliance, the course provides practical information on REACH-like regulations (including the EU, UK, India, Korea, Turkey, China, South-East Asia, the US and Canada). We will also cover tools and resources to increase efficiencies.
