Chemical Conference Live '08: Register now
November 4th 2008

A brand new conference taking place at Birmingham City FC on November 26th aims to help employers and managers understand their obligations in relation to protecting workers from hazardous chemicals.

While they are essential for business, chemicals also present significant worker hazards and are one of the biggest health and safety challenges for managers and business owners. Chemical Conference Live 08 can help.

With up to 10,000 commercial chemicals classified as hazardous, those with the responsibility for worker safety are often understandably hard pressed to ensure they are providing staff working with chemicals with the right level of protection.

Where worker contact with any harmful substances is concerned, the ideal scenario would be to remove any contact between worker and chemical, but the reality is that in many circumstances this is neither practical or possible, leaving the health and safety manager to ensure the right type and level of protection is provided across all aspects of the PPE process.

Add to this the new REACH Directive which affects every business working with chemicals – from hairdressers through to industrial chemical manufacturers – and it is easy to understand how managing health and safety where chemicals are concerned can be so challenging.

To help address this, three of Europe’s leading names in PPE have come together along with one of the leading names in Health and Safety Law and the UK REACH Compliance team to deliver a one day conference on managing chemicals where health and safety is concerned.
