SOCMA: Society of Chemical Manufacturers and Affiliates

The 2013 EHS&S Regulatory Webinar Series Hosted By ChemAlliance.org is a significantly expanded version of the series of webinars offered by ChemAlliance.org independently last year. The series, with at least 14 webinars planned for 2013 is intended to focus on topical environmental, health, safety, security and trade issues of interest to SOCMA members specifically, as well as members of the chemical industry at large. The one-hour sessions will feature relevant industry experts addressing the topic of the day, and participants will have the opportunity to ask questions. The diverse topics scheduled for this year range from the Chemical Data Reporting Rule, Trade and India, GHS, Fracking Disclosure Rules, and Plant Safety behavior.

Costs:

• SOCMA Members - $49/webinar
• No Additional Cost for 2013 ChemAlliance.org Subscribers
• Non-members and non-ChemAlliance.org subscribers - $189/webinar
