First dayThe first day 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.- What we have now; the existing/old system- Why change?- Brief overview of the GHS- How CLP implements the GHS in the EU- Differences between old EU system and the GHS/CLP- Elements of the GHS/CLP- Worked classification exercises- Links between CLP and REACH- Notification to the C&L inventory- Timing- Company preparationSecond dayThe second day is aimed primarily at those who need to supply SDS. REACH & CLP Regulations have impacted on the content and layout of SDS and also increased the awareness of industry on the need for compliance with the new standard. The course will provide attendees with a full understanding of the requirements of a REACH compliant SDS and identify the skills and resources needed to produce them.Background to the current SDS requirements under REACHThe link between REACH registration, CLP classification and contents of a SDSExposure scenarios and extended SDSFormat and content of SDS, in particular: Classification under CLP and DSD/DPD Physicochemical properties Toxicological data Eco-toxicological dataResponsibilities of providers and recipients of SDSThird dayThe third day aims to cover the scientific principles of exposure assessment and help you understand how to implement extended SDS in your organisation. The course is designed for those involved in use and supply of chemicals, especially those needing to prepare eSDS or who received eSDS and need to apply the recommendations into real life. Regulatory background to the extended SDSPrinciples of exposure and hazard assessment and risk managementWhen ES are needed and what to do on receiptPractical review of ES template(s)Communication through supply chainHazard assessment‘Chemical Safety Assessment’Safe levels and limits: understanding DNEL / WEL / PNECExposure Scenarios / Emission ScenariosEstimating exposure (environmental, workplace, general public)Use of default data and guidanceRisk Characterisation and introduction to simplified exposure modelManual estimates and use of models (EUSES / ECETOC)Scaling factorsFurther options for the eSDSPractical attempts at preparing ES and determining if level of exposure is acceptableRisk Management Measures
