(FOMCA) and UNITAR recognize the importance of the Globally Harmonized System and chemical hazard communication as a key tool for protecting the health of people and the environment; the need to address human resource development issues regarding chemical hazard communication; and the broader need to strengthen national and regional capacities for management of chemicals in line with Chapter 19 of Agenda 21.
In order to support a regional Chemical Safety awareness raising for consumers in South East Asia (SEA) countries and recognize the important contributions of key international actors for chemical hazard communication, including OECD, WHO, FAO, ILO and other Inter-Organization Programme for the Sound Management of Chemicals (IOMC) participating organizations, with the financial support from European Union (EU), FOMCA together with UNITAR has conducted a regional campaign for chemicals safety involving consumer associations from 10 SEA countries (Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao DPR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam).
