Free webinar

Diversified technology company 3M
is to host a free webinar on Tuesday
22 November at 12 noon on the
workplace hazards posed by
occupational asthmagens as part of
its ‘safety spotlight’ series.

3M launched the ‘safety spotlight’
series to share with customers its
knowledge and expertise on a variety
of workplace issues and hazards. As
well as an informative and interactive
webinar, the series includes free
access to detailed technical bulletins
that provide additional information
for customers to review and keep.

The latest ‘safety spotlight’ will
provide an insight into the different
types of occupational asthmagens
that can exist in a broad range of
industries, including substances such
as flour, isocyanates and wood dust,
and how they can be the cause of
health problems in the workplace.
The spotlight will also focus on the
selection of Respiratory Protective
Equipment (RPE), risk factors and
control measures that can put in place.

To register go to: www.3M.co.uk/
ohes/speakerseries. All you need is a
telephone and internet access. The
technical bulletin will be available to
download during November at:

3M will also be hosting seminars
on the hazards of occupational
asthmagens at the Health & Safety
Events conferences in Bolton on 5-6
October and Dublin on 16-17
November.
