Safety Training Program
- Call for Applicants -
Making the world a bit safer, safety experts from developing countries
have an opportunity to visit and work in plants of IUPAC
Company Associates in the industrialized world for a training period
of one to three weeks.
The IUPAC-UNESCO-UNIDO Safety Training Program is a Fellowship
Program for Safety and Environmental Protection in Chemical, Biotechnological,
and Pharmaceutical Production that allows safety experts from developing
countries to learn about safety and environmental protective measures
by visiting and working in plants of IUPAC Company Associates in industrialized
countries. IUPAC (via its Committee on Chemistry and Industry, COCI),
working with the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) and the United Nations International Development
Organization (UNIDO), has established and maintained the Safety Training
Program to promote interactions between developed countries and the
developing world to disseminate state-of-the-art knowledge on safety
and environmental protection in chemical production.
Each scientist or engineer accepted into the Safety Training Program
is assigned to an IUPAC company associate in an industrialized country.
Accommodation, subsistence, and travel expenses are provided for all
trainees.
Successful candidates are professional scientists and engineers who
are currently:
- involved at a supervisory or managerial level in chemical companies,
government institutions, or scientific institutions
- engaged in aspects of safety and environmental protection in chemical,
pharmaceutical, or biotechnological production or in the teaching
of these fields
- have the ability to influence safety practices in their places of
employment and elsewhere within their home country
Applications are now invited for placement in the 2006 program. For
