Attention: To All Pollution Control Officer/s (PCO/s)

Subject: The Learning Curve Series (Non-Accredited On-line Courses):

TLC Series on Chemicals and Hazardous Wastes Management

Dear Sir/Madam:

In this global pandemic, PCAPI Region 4A Chapter is in full support to the world's campaign of a "new normal" with virtual

connection and reduced direct contact. Businesses worldwide are affected but still saddled with the challenge and requirement to

comply with environmental laws. To help the businesses in our country cope up with their environmental compliance, PCAPI R4A

is now transitioning from its traditional pen and paper trainings and seminar to its brand new and upgraded virtual trainings.

PCAPI Region IV-A will conduct an On-line “TLC Series on Chemicals and Hazardous Wastes Management for Pollution

Control Officers” on March 3-5, 2022 through Microsoft Teams (MS Teams). The program will be most beneficial to PCOs and

other professionals who are currently working as mid-level managers, administrators, and technical personnel of a proposed project

or in a newly established/expanded facility. The key learning objectives of this training are:

✓ To understand the mandates of different agencies regulating chemical substances in the Philippines and delineate the

compliance requirements of the EMB on chemical management with respect to other agencies

✓ To discuss and review updates on relevant environmental laws and provide clear understanding of guidelines, procedures

and requirements under Title II and Title III of DAO 1992-29 or IRR of RA 6969

✓ To learn various aspects in the Assessment of Chemicals

✓ To be able to interpret the contents of Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Labels

✓ To discuss knowledge about chemical management in terms of handling, labelling, storage, use and disposal

✓ To prepare a Chemical Management Plan, in accordance with SDS

✓ To demonstrate an online application for chemicals permitting or registration and online application for Hazardous Waste

Generator’s ID

✓ To discuss technologies on hazardous waste management (mainstream industries & special focus on healthcare wastes)

✓ To prepare a Hazardous Waste Management Plan

✓ To discuss selected pollution cases from the PAB that arise from improper Hazardous Waste Management

Similar to all face-to-face PCAPI 4A trainings in the past, this Online TLC Series is a 3-day immersive training, but will be tailored in

the MS Teams platform and delivered in real-time streaming. This will be facilitated by PCAPI 4A’s dynamic Training Team

composed of its Facilitators, Training Director and Secretariat who will guide the PCO Trainee in their 2-day virtual training

experience.

In this regard, we would like to invite your Pollution Control Officers/s and Environmental Staff to attend this couse. Training fees

are listed below, and shall be inclusive of electronic copy of presentation materials and training certificate.

• Advanced Training improves PCOs’ skills and

knowledge of the job and builds their confidence

in their abilities.

• Advanced Training improves PCOs’ performance

and make them work more efficiently and

effectively.

Increased Productivity

& Performance

• When PCOs are trained, they will learn to make

good, safe and economical use of the company's

materials, tools and equipment. Accidents and

equipment damage will be minimized, and this

will keep wastes to a minimum.

Reduced wastage

• Though training PCOs should not totally

eliminate the need for supervision, it can

significantly reduce the need for excessive

supervision in the workplace.

Reduced Supervision

• PCOs who go through additional training

programs will boost their morale and will make

them do their jobs with more self-confidence, as

they will find their selves working more efficiently

and effectively.

Boosted morale
