NOVEMBER 2018

Free Webinar - Locking Down on Equipment Safety at Waste and Resources Facilities. Thursday 15th November 2018 10.00am. Register at this link.
Machinery safety accidents are the second most common cause of fatalities on UK Waste Management sites.  80% of serious and fatal machinery safety accidents are caused by failure to lock off effectively. The webinar will explore basic lock-off for waste managers. Panelists include Geoff Smallwood from leading waste-to-products business Renewi talking about what is lock-off and when should it be used, interlocks, emergency stops and other common errors and mis-conceptions, components of the lock-off procedure and training and enforcement and John Dyne, Director of Dynes Solicitors who will be presenting some information and case studies on machinery lock-off.
This webinar is open to all, but there will be a member priority registration process. Non-members will be allocated spaces one week before the webinar on a first come first served basis.
