Capacity building
Many developing countries are poorly equipped to respond to existing and emerging chemical safety issues. Strengthening the capacity of countries to soundly manage the chemicals they use is a theme that underpins most of IPCS work activities. For example, a major part of IPCS work on poisons information, prevention and management responds to the fact that a large number of countries do not have access to poisons centres.
The following areas highlight some activities and also the training documents that are available.
