  We are delighted to be holding a 1-day seminar on Emergency Response To Chemical Incidents with key speakers presenting a variety of topics.

  The seminar will review and present information from some of the main organisations responsible for emergency response to chemical incidents. We will hear case studies on past incidents, learn more about equipment to protect those dealing with incidents and discover how to proactively prepare in order to prevent and minimise the consequences.
