Overview

The range of regulations that apply is confusing and it is hard to obtain an overview of what they all mean and how to learn about them. Compliance in Bulk Materials Handling 2019 will provide an overview of the key range of regulations that are especially relevant to the bulk solids handling sector, and de-mystify their meaning and the means of achieving compliance.

Hear practical examples of common pitfalls from both end users and equipment manufacturers. The event will cover procurement, design, operation, and maintenance stages in order to comply with regulation and foster best practice.

Attend this seminar to:

Hear a broad overview of relevant regulations and compliance applicable to a wide range of bulk handling scenarios
Receive guidance on compliance and best practice which will help you perform your duties more safely and with reduced environmental impact
Stay informed of changes to codes and interpretations of codes allowing you to keep up to date with movement in the industry
Learn about key regulations for equipment design and project plans needed to comply within the field
