Tanzania keeps pushing chemical safety training because the government wants to stop people from accidentally poisoning themselves or trashing the environment. Coast Regional Medical Officer Kusirye Ukio told Chemical Supervisors from the Eastern Zone that officials are teaming up with private companies to handle hazardous materials properly. The three-day refresher course at Mwalimu Julius Nyerere Leadership School in Kibaha pulled in 170 people from both sectors.
Government Chemist Laboratory Authority Eastern Zone Manager Dunstan Mkapa said public outfits like TASAC, TPA, DAWASCO, TPDC, and TANESCO need to help GCLA enforce safe practices. Participants got briefed on chemical hazard communication, emergency prep, waste disposal rules, and mental health support for supervisors dealing with stress.
