SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Overview of the National Environmental Management: Waste Act (Act 59 of 2008)
DESCRIPTION:The National Environmental Management: Waste Act 59 of 2008 (NEMWA) came into force in South Africa on 1 July 2009. While the main Act became effective on this date\, certain sections\, particularly those relating to contaminated land were enacted on 2 May 2014. \nThe Act reformed the law regulating waste management in order to protect health and the environment by providing reasonable measures for the prevention of pollution and ecological degradation and for securing ecologically sustainable development. It also provides for institutional arrangements\, planning\, national norms and standards for regulating the management of waste by all spheres of government\, licensing and control of waste management activities\, national waste information system\, and compliance and enforcement. \nFocus Areas of the Webinar \nRepresentatives from the Department of Forestry\, Fisheries and the Environment will provide an overview of the Waste Act with a specific focus on: \n\nRoles and responsibilities of national\, provincial\, and local government\nPermitting and licensing requirements\nClassification of hazardous and general waste\nNorms and standards for waste storage\nWaste manifests and roles and responsibilities\nWaste minimisation\nSAWIC registration process\nCompliance and enforcement procedures

SUMMARY:TRAINING COURSE - Basic Globally Harmonised System (GHS) of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals
DESCRIPTION:The GHS is an internationally agreed system for classifying and communicating chemical hazards through labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDSs). South Africa adopted GHS under the Regulations for Hazardous Chemical Agents (HCA)\, with an 18-month transition period. The latest draft regulations reinforce requirements for classification\, SDS development\, and labelling. This training introduces the fundamentals of GHS\, focusing on hazard classification\, SDS preparation\, and labelling requirements. \nTime: 08:30 – 16:00 SAST \nObjectives \nParticipants will learn to: \n\nUnderstand the purpose\, scope\, and application of GHS.\nClassify hazardous substances and mixtures according to GHS criteria.\nApply hazard communication elements (labels and SDSs).\nInterpret South Africa’s GHS regulatory framework.\n\nTarget Audience \n\nSHEQ managers and risk practitioners\nTechnical and logistics personnel\nSupervisors handling hazardous chemicals\nCompliance officers and regulatory specialists\nEmergency responders\n\nDaily Programme \n\nSession 1: 08:30 – 10:30\nBreak: 10:30 – 11:15\nSession 2: 11:15 – 12:30\nLunch:  2:30 – 13:30\nSession 3: 13:30 – 16:00\n\nLanguage: English \nSkill Level: Basic \nCost: CAIA Members – R7 000.00 excl.
