Jargon buster cuts through the ATEX jungle
ABB has published an "ATEX jargon buster" that helps motor users cut through the jungle of terms and definitions that make up the new ATEX Directives.
This joint training initiative, now in its third year, has been set up between the UK Weighing Federation and the University of Wales Institute in Cardiff (UWIC).
The certificates were awarded by Course Supervisor Andy Hayward and each year the panel of examiners select the best student to receive the Hayman Award.
By a unanimous decision, this year's winner of the coveted prise was none other than the Federation's newly elected President Tony Mellor of Mettler Toldeo.
The name of the winner was a closely guarded secret until the actual presentation and a very surprised, if not somewhat embarrassed, Mellor graciously accepted the engraved plated hand weight and bottle of champagne from Colin Hayman.
Hayman, who was MD of Taunton based Westco Bilanciai before retiring last year, has been one of the main driving forces in setting up this training initiative.
The UWIC course, which is open to UKWF members and nonmembers alike, is aimed at sales and service personnel within the weighing industry.
It was established to address the concern that there was no formalised training for people involved in this vitally important industry.
The training will ensure that customers can have confidence in using companies whose personnel have achieved this national qualification, knowing that their service provider will have a high-level of up-to-date legal metrology knowledge.
