!CHALLENGES- Lack of technical guideline: although there has been Government Decree of

chemical safety and that comes into force already, but because still

lacking guidelines for implementing the certain items.- Overlap of activities: because of a lot of stakeholders (ministries) involved

in the chemical management and chemical safety in a not clear

mechanism of duty or responsibilities allocation, the response ways of the

relevant bodies to the management requirements could be quite passive,

not active.

- Lack of coordination and cooperation;

- Information exchange;


16/24

LOGO




!CHALLENGES

- The legal provisions are not enough strict. Chemical

inspection: have not been given due attention

- Awareness of the business on the chemical safety remains

low

- Coping skills of workers is not good

- Equipment and manpower to response for chemical

accident: not good.- Chemical breakdown of the chemical industry of Vietnam

occurred more

LOGORisk Assessement and Management in

chemical industry in Vietnam

!Regulation on RA in chemicals: not available.

!Study on RA: Until now, there are some casestudy on RA in the few chemical factory.

Example: Application of risk assessementmethods in Fertilizer; Assessement of chemicalrisk and hazardous waste management andsome initial results of reseach on methods ofassessement chemical risk for human health.

!

In 2011 & 2012: Japan support some trainingcourse on RA & RM for Vietnam ChemicalAgency

Need to training of safe management of

chemical risk#

Demand for chemical in increasing in Vietnam,

raising awareness of safety management of

chemical risk to communities, businesses and for

people exposed to chemicals in general, the toxicchemical in particular is a important work.

# People will be more aware of action consistent with

the actual situation and minigate the negative impact

cause by chemical triggers.#

To achieve these objectives shoud have a team

equipped with the knowledge of safety management

risk chemicals.


19/24

Cont.

# This team will apply the theory into pratice to reduce thetoxic effect caused by use of chemicals to human healthand our environment and also to strengthen education toraise awareness about safety risks of chemicals in the

community to the individual to the individual stakeholers.# The demand for human resources needs to be seen as

the key in the implementation of the purpose ofeducation and implementation of requirement for safetymanagement of chemical risks.

#

Most of chemicals are toxic and potentially affected theenvironment and human health. But awareness ofchemicals risks and the preventive measures are limited.


20/24

Challenge for Risk Management

20

!Gathering DataSearch (existing data

insufficient data

Estimation

unreliable

Measurement

e.g.) Internet etc

e.g.) (Q)SAR, models

e.g.) animal study, environmental measurement etc.

Very expensive, takes a long time


21/24

Challenge for Risk Management

21

!Analysis Data

Risk characterization

(Lack of science proof)

Measurement value

(Based on science study:

Routes, parameters)

Fomula, models, softwares

(Unsufficient: Local,terrain, climate etc.)


22/24

Proposals in RA & RM in Vietnam

#

Legal solution: Promote the implementation and monitoring

closely the implementation of legal document on chemical

safety, assessement and chemical risk management in an

industrial chemical and chemical protection plants.

#

Technical solution: need to improve production techniques

and related toxic chemical to reduce damage caused by use

chemicals to human helth and env.

#

Measures for education training: Human resources firm fromthe traning of young scientists and intellectual capacity.

#

Investment in facilities for basic reaseach areas of chemicalrisk assessement.


23/24

Trends of RA in Vietnam

#

Methodology of RA: Develop long term

cooperation program with the developed

as Japan, USA;

#To exchange experiences with forein

expert to raise the level of scientists in

Vietnam.

#

Estabilst a legal document in RA
