Initial Phase

 

GOALS

  • Put into place all the political and administrative prerequisites needed to develop, improve or review a Chemical Accidents Programme; and
  • Prepare a workplan for moving forward.

 

Before taking action to address chemical accidents, it is important to engage the necessary partners and have the support needed, and then to have an agreed plan for the next steps. 

Suggested activities include:

  • Secure appropriate political commitment for this effort
  • Identify key governmental authorities at national, regional and local levels and establish a mechanism for cooperation and consultation among these (using, for example, a Task Force)
  • Organise a process for consultations with relevant non-governmental stakeholders, including industry, workers, and representatives of the community
  • Identify resources needed (people, funds, time) that would be needed to move forward with the process of developing or improving a Chemical Accidents Programme
  • Develop a written statement of intent and workplan, including a schedule
