Forthcoming CHCS Events

CHCS Webinar: Country-specific safety data sheet requirements, Latin America

Webinar Overview
To follow up from an earlier webinar covering Latin America, CHCS is pleased to announce a new webinar covering country-specific safety data sheets requirements for Latin American countries including Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, and Peru. There have been many developments in this market, as countries are implementing and expanding the EHS legal basis. Certain overlap between countries exists, but in other respects, some very country specific factors must be taken into consideration.

Who Should Attend?
The webinar will be of interest to organisations/individuals that are involved with the supply of products and preparation of safety data sheets (SDSs) for the region. It will also be relevant to Members with a general interest in the region, or who wish to expand their knowledge of country-specific SDS requirements in Latin America.

Presenter
Manuela is an executive at DR-Software, who has worked with ChemGes software for authoring SDSs for the past 17 years. Manuela’s primary focus is sales and customer support.

From Manuela:

As part of a highly trained team of specialists. I work closely with customers to help them use ChemGes effectively, understand how the software implements regulatory requirements, apply hazard classification criteria within the software, manage SDSs for countries around the world, and locate the relevant information in applicable regulatory and legal texts.

DR-Software is a leader in chemical safety and global regulatory compliance. ChemGes automates the creation of Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and labels for more than 100 countries in 39 languages, delivering the precision, flexibility, and reliability required by today's complex regulatory environments.
