Verbal communication is frequently relied upon to transmit information and make requests for action. In a high hazard chemical plant, errors in communication can be disastrous. This course covers methodologies of verbal communication and how to avoid errors in understanding. It is aimed at site stakeholders who are charged with ensuring competencies, such as use of radio protocols, are defined and trained out. The course will provide these people with an understanding of what needs to be addressed and rolled out on their site.

Companies do not compete against each other – it is supply chains that compete. To make a company competitive and resilient requires looking at the overall supply chain’s competitiveness too. The output of any process can be measured in terms of Quality, Cost and Delivery. A supply chain is obviously critical in meeting delivery targets but is also fundamental to achieving the overall cost requirement and can impact on quality is some unexpected ways. Therefore, the design and architecture of the overall supply chain will be critical to both the supply chain’s success and each individual company’s longevity and sustainability in that supply chain. This workshop explores ways of improving a supply chain to make it more integrated and effective in the context of the specifics and business drivers of the process industries.
In order to get the best out of your people you need to understand and develop your leadership abilities. This course is aimed at senior and middle managers looking for a grounding in principles of leadership, taking into account the unique demands of managing high hazard sites, and will link in with leadership models and guidance as published by the Process Safety Leadership Group, and the OECD’s Corporate Governance for Process Safety.
***This workshop will be delivered online and split over 2 half day morning sessions on Tuesday 8th and Wednesday 9th July 2025*** The REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of CHemicals) Regulation affects almost every chemical substance that you manufacture, import or use to make your products and to run your processes. REACHReady's most popular workshop, this introductory workshop is an excellent place to start for those who are beginning to define their REACH obligations, aimed at business and regulatory managers and practitioners working in companies that make, import or use chemicals and for those who are new to the regulation. Ideal for anyone who needs to understand more about their obligations under the EU27 and UK REACH Regulations, and also of interest to suppliers of substances and mixtures who are looking to support their EU and UK customers on REACH.
***This workshop will be delivered online via MS Teams and split over 2 half day sessions - am Wednesday 17th and am Thursday 18th September 2025*** Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are a key communication document to provide information on the hazardous properties of chemical products and advice on risk management to reduce exposure to acceptable levels as well as advice on remedial action in case of accidents. Anyone handling or supplying hazardous chemicals will already be familiar with the SDS and everyone supplying mixtures in the UK and EU 27 - from importers to formulators - needs to understand the SDS and how REACH affects it (EU/UK). For the writing SDS, getting the format correct is the easy part if following guidance, but to do this correctly, there must be an in depth knowledge of chemical safety control. Register for this workshop to help you ensure your SDS is fit for purpose, and that you fully understand SDS provided by suppliers – and to check suppliers are providing you with appropriate details.
