As OEHS practitioners, our ability to protect workers is highly dependent on our ability to make accurate exposure risk decisions. If our decisions are wrong, we may leave at-risk workers inadequately protected, or waste limited resources on unnecessary controls. It is therefore critical that we develop our knowledge and validate our competency in the skills needed to ensure accurate exposure risk decision-making.

AIHA has unique free tools, training, and assessment resources available to all OEHS practitioners to advance their competency and performance in the skills and knowledge necessary to make accurate decisions about worker exposure and exposure uncertainty. They are an opportunity for all OEHS practitioners making exposure risk decisions to advance their professional competency, no matter their specialty (IH, OH, S, E, etc.), degree (Associate, BS, MS, PhD, etc.), certification (CSP, CIH, QEP, etc.), or experience level (new graduate, early career professional, seasoned professional, etc.).

This webinar will be delivered by:

The Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) has been in force in Germany since January 2023. The law strengthens human rights and environmental protection in global supply chains and requires that companies carry out due diligence on their own operations and on their direct and indirect suppliers. Join us to learn more about the law, its requirements, and what it means for your company.

This is the second webinar is a three-part series. The first session covered requirements related to human rights due diligence (slides and recording are available here). This second webinar will be a deep dive into the Act's environmental requirements. The final session will be a roundtable for PSCI members to exchange on challenges and best practices preparing for the Act, including key initiatives and governance (date TBC, for PSCI members only).

Waste vendors can cause businesses to incur additional risks and environmental and financial liabilities. Unsuitable waste handling practices might lead to undesired releases of waste to the environment. This can happen through missing or poorly maintained treatment units / steps, lack of maintenance, improper or non-functional monitoring, insufficient / improper waste treatment or inappropriate handling of resulting waste from a specific treatment.

Responsible waste management is among the most important aspects of minimizing the risks and liabilities associated with cleaning up contaminated sites.

The Waste Vendor Vetting Checklist was developed by the Pharmaceutical Environment Group (PEG) and its participating companies, who have kindly shared it with the PSCI for diffusion amongst its members. The Pharmaceutical Environment Group consists of leading pharmaceutical companies who collaborate in order to demonstrate and promote environmental leadership in the pharmaceutical industry, working together to enhance their performance.

Speakers:

• Andrea Fasano, Environmental Sustainability Manager at Pfizer
• Dave Herrmann, Global Lead Waste Management at Roche
