Key legislations for management of hazardous chemicals and or wastes<br />
include: - The Environmental Management Act of 2004; The Industrial and<br />
Consumer chemicals (management & control) Act 2003; The occupational<br />
health and safety Act, 2002; The Plant Protection Act 1997 and<br />
regulations of 1999; The pharmaceuticals and poisons Act of 1978 and the<br />
Petroleum exploration and production Act 1980; the Public Health<br />
Ordinance (1954); Water Act of 1974 and its amendments of 1981, 1987<br />
and 2000; the TPRI Act 1979 and its regulations of 1984; The National<br />
Industrial Licensing and Registration Act (1967), and its amendment of<br />
1982; the Mining Act (1979) and its regulation of 1988 and 1999; and the<br />
Local Government Act (1982) and its amendments of 2000. Some of these<br />
regulation and Acts have weaknesses such as narrowness in scope, low<br />
penalties and inadequate coordination. Some legislation, despite their<br />
adequacy are not adequately implemented due to inadequate institutional<br />
capacity in terms of facilities, equipment and human and financial<br />
resources. The review on some of these legislations has started.<br />
Other implemented activities are as follows:-<br />
(i) Inventory of industrial waste in Dar es Salaam<br />
In 1993 the University College of Lands and Architectural Studies<br />
(UCLAS) conducted an inventory on Industrial waste generation in<br />
Dar es Salaam city. The result of this study shows that there are<br />
about 122 industries in the city, which produce hazardous waste.<br />
These industries were estimated to produce about 4,634.1 tons per<br />
year of hazardous waste.<br />

Cleaner Production Initiatives<br />
Four initiatives have been undertaken since 1994 to promote<br />
adoption of cleaner production technologies and techniques in<br />
industries countrywide. The main activities are information<br />
dissemination, training, demonstration and assessments in various<br />
enterprises in the country. These initiatives are:-project on cleaner<br />
production (1994) by the then Ministry of Natural Resources,<br />
Tourism and Environment; the establishment of the Cleaner<br />
Production Centre of <strong>Tanzania</strong> (CPCT) in 1996 - the Centres’<br />
major role is to promote the concept of cleaner production; The<br />
Lake Victoria Environment Management Programme – cleaner<br />
production project (2000/2001) for industries in Mwanza, Mara and<br />
Kagera; and The project on Ecologically Sustainable Industrial<br />
Development by CPCT that began in 1999. To-date, about 69<br />
industries throughout the country have been sensitised regarding<br />
the cleaner production technologies and techniques.<br />
