This course will mainly present Decree EC Nr. 1907/2006 (REACH). REACH means registration, evaluation and authorization of chemicals. The purpose of this Regulation of the European Community is to ensure a high level of protection of human health and the environment, including the promotion of alternative methods for assessment of hazards of substances, as well as the free circulation of substances on the internal market while enhancing competitiveness and innovation. The course will explain principles and obligations for manufacturers, importers and downstream users to ensure that they manufacture, place on the market or use such substances that do not adversely affect human health or the environment.

Target profile of attendees
|
REACH is concerned with people who manufacture, place on the market or use substances that may adversely affect human health or the environment, thus this course is dedicated to the professionals involved in these processes e.g. manufacturer, importer, downstream user or distributor placing on the market a substance or a mixture.

General data for the course
Overview
|
The course is intended to complement the series of 13 other ESPRiT courses devoted to technical and engineering issues of risk management in industrial plants (petrochemical plants, process industry, power plants, etc.). Technical risks in the above plants can be a cause or a contributing factor in/for the business continuity and the final outcome of the technical/engineering activities is practically always to be seen on the background of business implications and implications/impacts to the business activities of a company. The insurance aspects are the most relevant practical aspect linking the engineering and business side of the company operation and asset management: therefore these will be tackled, too. |
Target profile of attendees
|
BSc/MSc engineering, environmental sciences, finances, working in industry, academia, banks, insurance companies, government and other stakeholders dealing with risks in industry.
