There is less than one week remaining to wait until gasworld.com will be providing live text and picture-based coverage from EIGA’s Winter session – held in Brussels, Belgium.
The coverage will begin on Wednesday 28th of January, at www.gasworld.com/community/live/ when the presentations will commence – delivered by key members from the industrial gases sector.
Air Products’ John Duggan will be addressing a pertinent topic for all to consider – focusing on his role at the company of leading Product Safety. Duggan states that “over the past two to three years” he had become “increasingly aware of a rising prevalence for the use of industrial products in more consumer orientated end uses” and the “potential harm this could cause in cases of misuse”.
Duggan, who is Chairman of the EIGA Product Safety group, said, “I will be presenting a paper which will introduce a recommended risk assessment methodology for such near-consumer uses. These near-consumer uses potentially expose members of the public to our products (in some cases intentionally exposing them) and are characterised by being undertaken in non-industrial occupational settings (e.g. retail space, night club, sports centre, health spa), often with no external storage available / limited internal space. In addition, they may be operated and managed by staff that is non-industrial, technically inexperienced and/or transient with highly variable levels of hazard awareness and training within organisations of uncertain safety culture.”
