Safety Training Program

The IUPAC-UNESCO-UNIDO Training for Safety and Environmental Protection in Chemical, Pharmaceutical and Biotechnological Research and Production is an activity undertaken by the Committee on Chemistry and Industry (COCI).

Each scientist or engineer accepted into the Safety Training Program is assigned to an IUPAC Company Associate in an industrialized country. The period of training is typically one to three weeks. Accommodation, subsistence and travel expenses are provided for all trainees. In recent years, Fellows from Turkey, Egypt, Nigeria, Kenya, China, and Uruguay, have received training at host Companies in the U.S.A., Japan, South Africa, and UK.

 

Applications are now invited for placement in the Safety Training Program

Ms. Jane B. Nyakang'o (Kenya) and Ms. Ana Luisa Arocena (Uruguay) visited the BP Chemicals Technology Center in Naperville, Illinois, USA in October 2003.

  •  The Safety Training Program was the focus of a Workshop at the 2005 IUPAC General Assembly and Congress in Beijing, at which all eight Fellows from 2000-2004 presented papers and brainstormed improvements to the STP.

- Previous reports published in Chemistry International featured the accomplishments of the STP Fellows and the overall program:
