Hazmat Event 2011

Informal discussions at Hazmat 2011

Held at Birmingham’s Crowne Plaza hotel near the NEC on 15 and 16 February 2011, this year’s Hazmat event was judged one of the most informative yet. This was the fourth such event, now established as one of the main avenues for Hazmat specialists to share experiences and knowledge. The basis of the event was a series of presentations set over two days and covering a variety of topics, including the various arrangements that have been put in place to assist response to chemical emergencies, such as virtual training and the ChlorAid scheme.

All the subjects covered were relevant to people involved in chemical incident response and the setting provided a great opportunity to question and discuss content both in the forum and one-to-one. Delegates were drawn from fire services, police forces, the MOD, chemical industry and bodies such as the Environment Agency, the Health Protection Agency and the Met Office. Bill Atkinson, Emergency Response Knowledge Leader, chaired the event.
