UNEP/OCHA: Introduction to Industrial Accidents: prevention, preparedness and response (2013)
Description:
The three-hour on-line Introduction to Industrial Accidents: prevention, preparedness and response aims to raise awareness about industrial (chemical) accidents in order to strengthen the capacity of government, industry and civil society. With an improved understanding of what constitutes an 'industrial accident', participants will be better able to prevent, prepare and respond. Participants will also gain an understanding of when countries should ask and receive international assistance in preparation for or in response to an industrial accident.
This is a collaborative effort of the Joint UNEP/OCHA Environment Unit, UNEP and the UNECE.
