Chemical Conference: book now
February 18th 2009

Organisers of a one day conference featuring some of the UK’s leading names in health and safety law, REACH Regulation compliance and worker safety say the event will bring a wealth of information to health and safety managers and business owners.

Chemical Conference Live 09, which takes place at Birmingham City Football Club, on Wednesday, March 11, aims to help employers and managers with their obligations in relation to protecting workers from workplace chemicals, and highlighting the latest issues, regulations and solutions.

Two keynote speakers at Chemical Conference Live 09

Chemical Conference Live 09- are the highly respected Lawrence West QC of Henderson Chambers, one of the UK’s leading health and safety legal teams, who will be talking on Corporate Manslaughter and a practical guide to dealing with HSE Prosecutions, and Tim Harris of the UK REACH Compliance team, who will be highlighting the responsibilities on business brought by the new regulations and how they impact on COSHH compliance.

In addition, the day-long event is also being directly supported by some of the leading names in chemical health and safety in the shape of Marigold Industrial, Jal Group, and Scott Tyco, creating what promises to be a valuable resource for anyone responsible for employees working with chemicals.

With over 10,000 chemicals estimated to be in use in UK workplaces, 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.

“Managing health and safety where chemicals is concerned has always been a challenge. But add to this regulation and legislation such as the recently introduced REACH Directive and the Corporate Manslaughter Act and the pressure to manage chemical safety issues mounts even further.

“Chemical Conference Live 09 not only brings expert voices together to provide a wealth of knowledge on the very latest issues affecting those people working with chemicals, but provides practical advice on managing the issues and reducing the hazard threat that exists.

“We are delighted to have Lawrence West QC of Henderson Chambers – who spoke at the Health and Safety Expo 08 in Birmingham to great acclaim - and Tim Harris of the UK REACH Compliance team speaking at Chemical Conference Live 09, which will bring a great deal of benefit, support and advice to delegates,” said Graham Buckley of event organisers Mercury.

Tickets for this essential day-long event are limited and priced at only £75.00+VAT when purchased before February 14th 2009. After that date tickets will cost £100 +VAT.
