The Secretariat of the Strategic Approach to Chemicals Management (SAICM) and the University of Cape Town (UCT) have established a Community of Practice (CoP) on Lead in Paint to bring representatives from different sectors together and to create a learning network around issues related to the elimination of Lead Paint.
The next online session will be held on 8 December at 15:00 – 16:30 Central European Time (CET) and will discuss “Is there lead in my paint? All about testing and labs”. Participation is open to the public upon registration as a member of the community of practice.
The SAICM Secretariat invites you to register to join the Community of Practice on Lead in Paint so that you can participate in regular online discussions facilitated by recognized experts in the subject. By signing up, you will receive invitations to the upcoming discussions and their summary digests upon conclusion of the discussion.
