Plant and Works Exhibition hits the right notes
The new Plant and Works Exhibition (PWE) attracted thousands of visitors, many of which were surprised at the wide range of maintenance options available to them
The BCAS workshop sessions will outline safe working practices that employers should put in place in order to protect the workforce.
BCAS has also developed a safety course in conjunction with safety practitioners in the field.
It specifically addresses the need of those who use hand held air tools, including blow guns.
In addition to the user safety theme, the BCAS workshops will concentrate on safety from a legislation perspective and how to ensure employers are kept compliant and up to date regarding new rulings.
The second main theme is Compressed Air Audits: BCAS has secured funding from the Carbon Trust Networks Initiative to develop benchmarks for air audits.
The workshop session will review the technologies and methodologies of energy audits, and how to optimise energy efficiency.
