Perhaps not surprisingly because it developed Responsible Care , Canada has arguably the most comprehensive approach. The Canadian Chemical Producers Association (CCPA) has made the verification process mandatory once a member company has completed its three-year Responsible Care implementation process. The verification process involves a three-day visit by a team comprised of two industry experts, an activist (usually from the CCPA national advisory panel) and a citizen selected from the community around each visited site. Other than the newest member companies, all but two have been visited and these were scheduled for early 1999. The CCPA is now field-testing a second round of the verification process, which will be undertaken on the third anniversary of a company s successful completion of its first verification.
