INVITATION

It is with great pleasure that we extend a warm welcome to you to attend and participate in this NOT TO BE MISSED event – the RPMASA Second International Transport and Environment Conference entitled:

“Producer Responsibility for Safe Transport of Chemicals – A value chain approach to protect people and the environment”.

Following the success of our first International Conference in March 2009, the RPMASA is proud to announce partnering again with Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry to bring you our second International Transport and Environment Conference at the Durban ICC. Knowledge sharing, networking with Industry and Regulatory Experts, as well as training are all part of the weeks programme.

Millions of tons of Industrial and Consumer chemicals are transported around the world daily by road, rail, sea and air – most reach their destination safely, others don’t, putting people and the environment at risk – are you part of the problem or part of the solution ???

Safe transport, energy efficiency, sustainable use of resources and reducing environmental impacts, emissions and footprint are KEY challenges facing Industry today. Correct packaging is the essential starting point to prevent accidents, incidents and risks to people, property and the environment – emergency plans and fast efficient response are needed to mitigate should failures occur.

DIARISE NOW to early register and join us at the Durban ICC to learn from international and national experts what YOU can do to be part of the solution and reduce risks to your organisation and the public and improve your profit.

The conference will provide a forum for participants from all over the world to meet and exchange ideas and to get an update on global trends and international legislation in the transport of dangerous goods and products. It will help to build capacity in our people here and from our neighbouring SADC countries. The accompanying training sessions will be targeted at improving knowledge in key issues for export as well as local compliance and conditions. It will benefit all to see our beautiful country, meet our people open up business opportunities as well as improve knowledge for safer packaging and compliance with the IMDG, IATA and UN model regulations.

The RPMASA was formed in 2002 as a non-profit organisation to address all aspects of Industrial Packaging. It is part of an international network of similar organisations and Africa’s only industry representative to the UN Committee of Experts for Transport of Dangerous Goods and the GHS (Global Harmonising Systems of Classification and Labelling.

We invite you to join us in this second landmark event of biennial Conferences to bring the world to Durban the Gateway Port to Southern Africa. The conference is aimed at knowledge sharing, building relationships and improving skills to facilitate safe trade in dangerous goods and products - the warmth and sunshine of our beautiful city and country will welcome you and inspire the knowledge sharing experience.

You cannot afford NOT to be there!!
