Enrolment options
The e-REMC self-learning program consists of eleven topic-specific self-learning modules, of which eight are further subdivided into submodules called learning units. The topics and structure of the modules are aligned with the content and outline of the REMC company handbook. The self-learning materials also include several additional CM related topics which have not been part of the REMC toolkit. Each self-learning module consists of two components, including (1) a presentation with voiceover audio/text plus links to further reading materials on Slide 3 and (2) quizzes to self-test the learning comprehension. All presentations contain voiceover explanations with available accompanying text. Learners can proceed with the presentations at their own speed, controlling the movement and changes of individual slides. This allows learners sufficient time to reflect on and digest the contents. The quizzes help to reflect on learning progress as well as recall the key takeaway messages from each module.
Who is this course for?
The self-paced interactive web-based training is directed to different target
groups such as individual participants like technical engineers, shift leaders,
middle management with technical background from textile,
leather and synthetic (in particular PU) shoe factories mostly comprising
of small- and medium-scale enterprises (main beneficiaries).
It is directed to employees with technical background in procurement,
transport, storage, production, finishing (souring, bleaching, dyeing,
printing), packaging and confectioning.
Other individual learners might be top management as well as buying agents and
brands representatives of sourcing or design departments as well as
authorities, multipliers and suppliers.
What will you learn?
The e-learning of the training on Resource Efficient Management of
Chemicals (e-REMC) creates awareness on health and environmental risks due
to the use of chemicals in textile, leather and synthetic shoe manufacturers.
The objective of the training course is to support process of sustainable
chemical management in order to reduce negative impacts to the environment as
well as the health and safety of workers. The training aims to develop a sound
knowledge on the responsible management of chemicals, improving the capacities
for corporate environment, safety and health and resource management in
relevant industries.
As learning outcome, the participants of the training course will be able to
understand the need for Chemical Management (CM) and achieve a comprehensive
knowledge on Chemical Management approaches, requirements and methods. They
attain the ability to improve the management of chemicals within their
factories/facilities and are able to introduce or improve a consistent
management system for chemical management. Analogue to common international
management system standards such as ISO 9001 ff.-Quality, ISO 14001 ff. –
Environment as well as ISO 45001 ff. for Occupational Health and Safety they
are enabled to systematically work according to the DEMINMG cycle, assess and
evaluate current processes, develop management action plans (MAPs) and
implement continuous improvements. Last but not least the target groups are
able to overview a complex regulation and compliance framework and to implement
a chemical management that conforms to international requirements, like amongst
others Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC), Strategic Approach to
International Chemicals Management (SAICM), Pollutant Release and Transfer
Registers (PRTRs), Greenpeace (DETOX), specific Restricted- and Manufacturer
Restricted Substances Lists (RSL/MRSL), as well as the ILO Convention 170
concerning safety in the use of chemicals at work.
