Workshop Session IV: Tuesday, May 5, 10:00 - 11:30 a.m.
Concentration: Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety

The current system for regulating chemicals in U.S. puts an unfair burden on workers, the public and environment by unnecessarily exposing us to toxic chemicals. Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families is a nationwide coalition of over 130 health and environment organizations, nurses, doctors, workers, and communities working to overhaul federal chemicals policy. This panel will outline how the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) is failing us, opportunities for a new job sector of green chemicals and products and how to make a win-win-win for workers, public health and the environment.

Moderator:
Lindsay Dahl, Safer Chemicals, Deputy Campaign Director
