Is it for me?
This is ideal for plant designers, plant managers, safety and hygiene specialists and maintenance professionals – particularly if you are handling powders – and will help you to identify and assess risk within your processing system.
The programme will also benefit operational staff or senior management, helping you to gain a better understanding of what can go wrong, and how to make your plant as efficient and trouble-free as possible.
