REACH and CLP Essentials

Day 3 focuses on Hazard Communication elements and aims to provide delegates with an overview of the classification, safety data sheet and labelling requirements associated with REACH. Classification and effective communication of hazards is a key output of REACH and will form the basis for further evaluation, while Poison Centre Notification obligations will continue to increase over the next few years.
