CHEMICAL POLICY DEVELOPMENT – THE PATH TO INTELLIGENT COMPLIANCE

José Navarro was excited for his new career after landing a job in the poultry industry. After five years on the job, 37 year-old Navarro began coughing up blood. He died soon after when his lungs and kidneys failed. His death triggered a federal investigation raising questions about the health risks associated with the use of toxic chemicals in poultry plants. Millions of workers are exposed to chemicals everyday on the job. All workers have the right to know about the chemicals they work with and community health workers can be an important source of information and support for workers. This workshop will teach community health workers how to explain what happens when someone is exposed to chemicals and how workers can best protect themselves

The process of drug discovery and development is a path that enlists the expertise of many while in pursuit of the one novel entity that rises above a host of potential candidates. For peptides this can be a daunting task given molecule complexity, physiochemical properties, receptor selectivity and scale-up of material. This presentation will discuss the discovery of our Glucagon agonist and how to use innovative technologies, focused SAR, and effective integration of a unique multidisciplinary team in the drug discovery process.

MAVERICK Technologies and Rockwell Automation have a lot of best-in-class approaches to managing DCS migration projects in the chemical industry. This webinar is a continuation from a previous webinar that addresses the justification and scope associated with a DCS migration project. Speakers Gordon Bordelon – Rockwell Automation and Lee Swindler – MAVERICK Technologies will discuss areas of high risk around cost, scope-creep and schedule overruns. They'll also explore ways to mitigate risks during project execution.

On November 28, 2016, EPA published its updated Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Rule. The new rule makes several important changes to how hazardous waste generators must track and manage hazardous waste. Following implementation at the federal level on May 30, 2017, individual States will be adopting the new requirements during the 2017-2018 timeframe. This webinar will provide a detailed review of the new requirements, as well as strategies and best practices for assuring compliance.
