Description
One of the core responsibilities of a product steward is ensuring marketability and compliance, but this is difficult when the number and complexity of global chemical management regulations are increasing. Establishing strategies to track, interpret, advocate for, and prepare for emerging and changing regulations is extremely challenging.
This workshop examines various options for completing each of these steps and discusses their pros and cons. The goal of this workshop is not only for participants to develop strategies to ensure marketability and compliance but to also be engaged partners in the development of effective, science-based, and fit-for-purpose chemical management regulations. This half-day workshop is specifically designed for mid-career professionals who are looking to enhance their core competencies and are able to participate in these discussions. However, this workshop is also appropriate for early career product stewards who are seeking new responsibilities, industrial hygienists and other environmental health and safety professionals who want to better understand regulatory surveillance and advocacy, and other aligned professionals within the legal, public affairs, and business fields who are involved in advocacy activities.
