  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.

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.
