in the TransAPELL Toolkit Possibility of creating a working group
(like an APELL Coordinating Group, possibly linked with Civil
Defense Committees, but involving mining companies and local
authorities was discussed and welcomed by the audience

24 What is Responsible Production? 24 It is a systematic and
continuous improvement approach aimed at SMEs for : Chemical safety
along the value-chain; Understanding hazards; Controlling chemical
exposure; Reducing accident risks; Engaging stakeholders; and
Promoting chemical product stewardship through risk communication
aimed at preventing exposure and accidents with hazardous
substances along the value chain. Aligned with ICCA Global Product
Strategy (GPS)

Flexible Framework At the end of 2007 UNEP-DTIE established a
new initiative to promote the development of a Flexible Framework
for addressing major Chemical Accidents prevention and
preparedness. The Guidance provides comprehensive information for
establishing or improving a chemical accident prevention and
preparedness programme by: describing the steps that are needed
setting out the possible elements of such instruments; and
providing resource materials
