Chemical Hazard Communication Network Zoom Webinar Discuss/Chat Meeting
Zoom Meeting ONLY, Wed 17th September 2025, 5.50pm for 6.10pm to 8.10pm (Melbourne Time)
The dates have been adjusted to the 3rd Wed in March & 3rd Wed in September so there is about a month separation to the DGAG meetings.
You can join before from 5.50pm for 6.10pm to 8.10pm and stay on until 8.20pm for a further brief chat with colleagues.
Please email: Jeff.Simpson@Haztech.com.au for the Zoom (& Physical) Webinar current discussion / chat issues and the Zoom Login Details
** There will normally be a Saturday end of year lunch held on Sat 22nd Nov 2025 (12noon to 2.00pm) at a Thai Restaurant near Gardiner Station (on the Glen Waverley line) in Burke Rd. Please contact Jeff.Simpson@haztech.com.au for details.**
1/ Issues we cover:
1. Classification matters.
2. Dangerous Chemical Situations, SDS & Labelling issues.
2-1. Who is trained to have the necessary technical knowledge to understand when and how Dangerous Chemical Situations occur and to prepare correct & highly usable SDSs & Labels?
3. Chemical Hazard Communication Regulatory Matters.
4. AU & NZ Chemical Regulatory Changes.
5. Australian, NZ, EU, USA, Japan, etc Hazardous Chemical Evaluations, Classifications & Management Issues
5-1. Problematic Differences between the Regulator’s Classification lists: e.g. ECHA RSD; ECHA CHEM (new); ECHA Committee (RAC); ECHA CLP; NZ CCID; AU HCIS (& referenced IMAP info that is not specific to each chemical informed to be included in HCIS). Also HCIS does NOT inform of the updates at least once a year!
2/ Please Email us that you are participating.
We normally have about 15-25 participating in CHCN meetings. Please reply at latest by Monday afternoon 15th September 2025, so we can have a good understanding of the interest to have the CHCN meeting. The key requirement is to be seen on video on your Zoom connection (like a physical meeting).
3/ Physical Discuss / Chat Meetings are no longer expected to occur in Melbourne as they would need to be hybrid Zoom / Physical meetings (which is difficult in the community meeting rooms) and not many of us in Melbourne now want to physically take part.
4/ No Direct Meeting Costs for participants in the Zoom Webinar Discuss / Chat Meetings
HOWEVER it would be appreciated if everyone considers subscribing to Jeff Simpson’s Hazmat & Environment Notes (which is $130 / five issues a year).
