The use of chemicals and the production of waste in developed and developing countries have been increasing significantly during the past three decades. It is no doubt that chemicals and their wastes will continue to play an important role in the arena of industries. However, both these chemicals and their waste will pose danger in case we are not able to manage them properly.

The aim of this training is three-fold: One is to educate the participants on chemical safety, on the importance and the proper manner of Waste Management according to Environmental Quality Regulations on Schedule Wastes, and finally on the method of controlling and managing chemical spillage.

Nature’s method of processing waste was once well within how it could reduce or dilute them to safe limits. However, this has changed due to a surge in consumer demands for new products and goods which leads to the generation of a large number of waste. The subject of waste management will cover the type of waste produced and how it can be eliminated, reduced, reused, segregated, stored, transported, treated, and disposed of. The topics will also touch on the legal requirement in compliance with Brunei laws & regulations.

The topic will be inclusive of the formation of an Emergency Response Team – The Chemical Spillage Clean–Up Team. The participants will also have hands-on training on ways to manage chemical spillage. More importantly, the participants will be trained on proactive methods of preventing chemical spillage.
