What is the TCC/ACIT & LCA/LCIA EHS Seminar?

The Texas Chemical Council (TCC)  Association of Chemical Industry of Texas (ACIT), Louisiana Chemical Association (LCA), Louisiana Chemical Industry Association (lcia) have teamed with volunteers from industry and government to present the premiere annual Environmental, Health and Safety event of the Gulf Coast for the past 25 years. Here's a short presentation describing the event.
