Chemical Warehousing Workshop
18 October 2022
Hybrid: Online/Crewe
The storage of chemicals in warehouses is a process that looks relatively simple on the surface. However it is very much a kin to an iceberg with an ever increasing complexity under the surface. Clients often provide limited information and expect rapid answers which could easily leave a company exposed to additional costs, increased operational complexity and higher risks of serious incidents that may lead to business closure. Whilst many logistic providers will employ a Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor (under the transport regulations), these may not be fully conversant with other regulatory regimes and could easily overlook a vital regulatory provision, leaving a company vulnerable.
This course is designed to provide a basic insight into specific legislation that is applicable to the storage of chemicals.
The workshop is suitable for all levels of personnel requiring a practical knowledge of chemical handling – including regulatory compliance specialists.
It will be useful to those specifically responsible for performing risk assessments and those who handle chemicals generally.
