Conference: "Chemical safety and explosion protection: what's missing?"

The professional handling of flammable, corrosive, toxic or explosive substances is essential in order to minimize risks to people, the environment and property. The legal requirements are extensive - but many questions arise in practice: How can extinguishing water retention be implemented efficiently? What should be done in the event of a chemical accident in the company? What are the consequences of banning or replacing certain substances? And how can know-how be retained despite staff changes in the company? All of this leads to challenges for chemical processing companies, project managers, enforcement authorities and insurers.

Existing know-how is often lost due to personnel changes, which can lead to new safety gaps. It is therefore imperative to regularly review the correct and proper handling of chemicals in the company as well as the safety measures and to adapt them to the new circumstances with sound knowledge. With a practical program, the presentations will get to the bottom of the above and other questions. Experts from the fields of enforcement, planning and application will provide up-to-date knowledge, highlight solutions and shed light on common weaknesses in day-to-day operations. Specific recommendations for adapting the safety system in companies where chemicals are used and where there is a risk of explosion are on the agenda.

The conference brings together the various players and promotes a well-founded exchange between specialists with similar questions and tasks.
