The IChemE has updated three of its major training packages.

Three fully updated training packages were released by IChemE this week.

The revised health and safety titles include updates on new legislation and developments within industry and are available on CD-ROM for the first time.

The new format continues to provide companies with cost-effective training solutions.

It also provides companies and training providers with greater flexibility to adapt training to meet individual needs.

Three packages are now available on CD-ROM: "Fires and explosions", "Practical risk assessment" and "Safety management systems".

The ongoing process of review and revision to training packages to reflect legislative changes and industry trends is an important part of IChemE's commitment to process safety.

"Fires and explosions" has been updated to cover the requirements of the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002.

"Safety management systems" fully considers the implementation of major accident prevention policies and the requirement for comprehensive safety management systems.

"Practical risk assessment" provides useful guidance that will aid compliance with the management of health and safety at work regulations and COSHH.

"IChemE has been supplying cost-effective, self-contained training packages to process industry for over 20 years", says IChemE's Head of External Relations, Andrew Furlong.

"Using our position at the heart of the process community we draw upon our broad base of industry contacts as well as those in the regulatory and academic communities to produce quality training materials matched to current needs".

The next training package to be fully updated on CD-ROM will be "Inherently safer process design".

Produced in conjunction with the International Process Safety Group, an alliance of safety experts drawn from 40 international companies, the package will provide valuable support for teaching the principle of inherent safety design and its application both to new process plants and plant modifications.

The package will be available in early 2005.
