Why Become a Toxics Use Reduction Planner?

Companies increasingly recognize that what is good for human health and the environment is also good for business and the bottom line. Effective toxics use reduction (TUR) protects workers, communities, and the environment, while sharpening a company's competitive edge. TUR Planners are essential to this process. Learn more about the role of the TUR Planner.

The Toxics Use Reduction Institute offers the TUR Planning course annually to train professionals responsible for assuring a company's TUR planning is done in good faith and yields new opportunities to create a more efficient and sustainable operation.

If your company reports on its use of toxic chemicals, is there someone in your organization who should take this course? if you are already a Toxics Use Reduction Planner, please pass this information onto your colleagues.

Course format: 

• This course begins with attending a required group web meeting on Thursday, August 29 from 12:00 to 1:00 PM.
• For the next month, class participants will work on the 11 on-line training modules and discussions at their own pace. Participants who have not completed the on-line discussions, exercises and quizzes will not be admitted to the in-class sessions.
• Four in-class sessions (October 3, 10, 17, and 31) follow.

The course features TUR Planners sharing best practices, and a real world example that participants collaborate on (both in and out of class) to create a graded TUR Plan.
