It is possible that the prevailing business environment makes it more difficult for safety professionals in some organizations to favorably influence their safety culture. Consider this excerpt from a 2005 report by the International Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) based in Paris ... 

Several pigments are already the subject of international Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) SIDS sponsorship. Several more pigments have been added to those already sponsored under the OECD program. In the United States, unnecessary testing can be avoided with the use of Structural Activity Relationship (SAR) analysis, whereby risk assessment data developed for very similar analogous substances are substituted for new data on the target com-...

In response to the Arab embargo, and the attempt of OPEC to dictate the supply and price of petroleum, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) established the International Energy Agency (lEA) in November 1974. lEA membership included all of Western Europe, Canada, the... 

Any person importing hazardous waste into the United States from a foreign country is subject to hazardous waste generator standards. RCRA also contains specific requirements for hazardous waste exports.

The United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) includes an internationally standardized guidance procedure on Transformation/Dissolution Protocol (T/DP) for metals and sparingly soluble metal compounds (United Nations, 2007), recently validated by the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development). To establish the acute aquatic hazard classification level of a metal-bearing substance under the GHS, data from the T/DP are compared with an acute ecotoxicity reference value (ERV) derived under conditions similar to those of the T/DP.

No formal international validation study of the in vitro methodology has been performed. Importantly, the same applies however to the in vivo studies. Despite the publication of several well-conducted comparative studies (Franz, 1975 Yang et al., 1986a,b Grissom et al, 1987 Scott and Ramsey, 1987 Hotchkiss et al., 1990, 1992 Scott et al., 1992 Ramsey et al., 1994 Roper et al., 1995 Dick et al., 1997a,b Wester et al., 1998), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) concluded in 2000 that evaluation of in vitro test methods by means of data available from the public literature is very difficult, because these studies, comparing in vitro and in vivo test results, contained too many variables (different species, thickness and types of the... 

With the recent participation of certain member-conntries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), it is anticipated that the AEGL program will be expanded to include the international commnnity. That shonld result in increased scientific and technical support, a broader scope of the review process, and an even greater assurance of scientifically credible AEGL valnes.
