Philippine National Police (PNP) personnel underwent a seven-day basic training course on the Fundamentals of Chemical Safety and the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) facilitated by Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) headed by Dr. Fabian M. Dayrit, also the project leader, recently.
The main objective of the training is to enhance the knowledge of PNP personnel on chemical safety and the SDS with a focus on controlled chemicals, with an aim to improve the management of controlled chemicals to fulfill security and safety needs, as well as the needs of stakeholders.
“This weeklong training holds significant benefits for the community, as the PNP will gain insight into hazardous chemicals, learn how to prevent accidents involving explosive chemicals, and minimize health risks for both individuals and the larger community.” Department of Science and Technology wrote in a press release.
The hybrid training was attended by nearly 200 individuals both face-to-face at Camp Crame and online via Zoom.
The program was funded by the Department of Science and Technology Philippine Council for Industry, Energy, and Emerging Technology Research and Development (DOST-PCIEERD) in partnership with the Integrated Chemists of the Philippines (ICP) and the Philippine National Police.
