One of the priorities of Baltic Environmental Forum is organising training programmes for chemical hazard management. The aim is to raise the awareness and capacity of public authorities, businesses and consumers.

We have organised trainings in the following areas:

In addition we have carried out lectures and workshops to raise general consumer awareness:

For every training we focus on the needs and peciularity of the specific target group. Together with the client we will put together the most suitable programme.
