Improper storage of hazardous chemicals- both products and wastes-incompatible inspection of containment materials, using hazardous products when non-hazardous products are available and inadequate training of staff are some of the leading causes of environmental contamination. Contamination can come in many forms- Some examples of contamination are ground and surface water, land, air, radioactive, food, noise, molds, odor, construction, vibration, etc. and invariably, if these contaminants are not properly dealt with, will result in pollution and in certain situations serious health problems.
This GLOMACS Hazardous Waste Management and Pollution training seminar will give some details on these various types of contaminants and the new frontiers in eliminating or minimizing these contaminants, the use of effective non-hazardous products in your company and also environmentally acceptable methods of disposal for both hazardous and non-hazardous wastes.
Objectives
Learn about the various types of contamination and which ones are more applicable to your company
Encourage and facilitate dialogue with like-minded individuals on specific contamination issues of concern in their organizations and the opportunity to develop regional networks within the GCC area to address common concerns
Learn about the relevant environmental treaties dealing with contamination and pollution
Learn how to prioritize contamination problems in dealing with contamination and waste management issues in a logical sequence
Show and emphasize the close relationship between human health and the environment that’s been directly affected by contamination
Discussion of the current methodologies for the cleanup of contaminated soil, ground and surface water, air pollution, construction materials and radioactive materials
Training Methodology
This GLOMACS Hazardous Waste Management and Pollution training course will encourage delegates’ participation, and the atmosphere in the classroom will be tailored to asking questions and the delegates will all be made to feel welcome in a stress free atmosphere. Both a power point slide presentation and videos will be used. Class exercises will also be used to reinforce the information discussed.
Organisational Impact
The organization, based on the training received by its employees at the course, will have less cause for concern of real or potential contamination problems at the plant, and this usually results in improved productivity
By addressing real or potential contamination problems from the company’s operations, the whole audit management process (system audits, process audits, review audits, surveillance audits, re-registration audits, etc.) will be made easier and less stressful
If contamination should occur, reduced healthcare costs for the organization knowing that contamination issues are fully addressed and managed
If contamination should occur, reduced cleanup costs for the organization knowing that contamination issues are fully addressed and managed
Enhanced reputation of the organization in the community knowing that there will not be any surprise contamination issues that could derail the organization’s image
An improved image of the organization with the Regulatory Authorities
Personal Impact
Personal satisfaction of the employee knowing that the organization is providing the necessary information required for him / her to minimize and/or manage workplace contamination
Risk Reduction knowledge which will provide lasting benefits both personally and professionally
Safer workplace environment
Personal psychological advantage of an employee doing his or her part concerning contaminants reduction via “Think Globally, Act Locally”
Personal pride in being an employee of an organization that’s fully committed to addressing and managing real or potential contamination issues
Personal pride in being part of an organization that’s committed to protecting the environment and preventing pollution
