Welcome to NCEC - National Chemical Emergency Centre

NCEC specialises in providing emergency response and chemical safety products and services. As the UK's National Chemical Emergency Centre we support the UK Government in responding to a range of incidents. We also provide commercial services to the chemical industry and governments around the world, helping organisations to improve their chemical safety management and emergency response.

Within the NCEC you will find a friendly, accessible group of specialists with a unique knowledge-base. We deliver fast, up to the minute advice and products. We take pride in building strong relationships with our customers and becoming an extension of their organisations, allowing us to provide great value for money and an unparalleled service.

2008 is a special year for NCEC, being both the 35th birthday of NCEC and the 25th birthday of Chemdata. We will be celebrating in a number of ways and hope that you will join is in our celebrations so keep checking our website for birthday news.

Over the 35 years NCEC has developed as part of AEA. What hasn’t changed is our commitment to provide accurate advice in plain language to help those responding to incidents.

Attention! Do you and your staff know how to act during a hazmat incident?

You have just missed the 1st Response training course for December but we will be holding another one on March 5th at our Harwell site.

1st Response is a unique, one-day course that has been designed and developed by Emergency Responders from NCEC, together with Responsible Care experts from the CIA & BCDTA as well as leading Fire & Police Officers who are hazardous material specialists.

There is no other course that brings together such practical and upto-date content or provides such an insight into what to expect when attending an incident and to understand better what is expected of you.
