DuPont Personal Protection and a major respiratory manufacturer are sponsoring a series of 'A Day on Safety' seminars.

Three seminars are to be held, one in Aberdeen on Thursday 10 November 2005, one in Teesside on Wednesday 2 November 2005 and one in the Wirral on Wednesday 7 December 2005.

The seminars, aimed at safety professionals in industry and public service, will provide delegates with valuable information on legislative issues in addition to guidance on the selection and use of PPE and RPE.

'A Day on Safety' will be beneficial to all those involved in the specification or purchasing of safety equipment for industries where workers are exposed to common hazards such as dusts and fibres, chemicals, fumes, flash fire, general grease and dirt, and the risk of cut and abrasion to hands and arms.

Throughout the day, detailed presentations by technical experts from DuPont Personal Protection and the respiratory manufacturer will combine with hands-on workshops to cover legislation, risk analysis, identification of hazards and the selection and maintenance of protective clothing and respiratory equipment.

The PPE workshops, arranged in small groups, offer delegates the opportunity to discuss with the technical experts any PPE issues relating to their specific industries.

Delegates who attended 'A Day on Safety' in Kilkenny earlier this year commented: "The day was structured well with informative presentations"; "It was well organised and the venue was superb"; "I found it very informative and interesting"; "Thanks for excellent presentations in an exceptional environment in wonderful weather"; "Good presentations - useful and interesting and useful workshops".

CPD points can be allocated for IOSH members who attend 'A Day on Safety'.

Administration of these events is carried out by The McOnie Agency on behalf of the sponsors.

To book a place at ADOS ('A Day on Safety') at Aberdeen, Teesside or the Wirral, or to request a registration form, please contact Alison Green at The McOnie Agency.
