For those receiving the new extended SDS which includes the Exposure Scenario
Everyone handling hazardous chemicals will already be familiar with the safety data sheet (SDS). Under EU and UK REACH, you may receive an extended SDS for hazardous substances that have been registered in your supply chain at 10 tonnes or more per year. The annex to the SDS contains exposure scenarios (ES) relevant to the identified uses of you and other downstream customers.
This event is designed for those responsible for health, safety and environmental protection within companies using hazardous substances from the UK and EU 27 suppliers – downstream users in REACH-speak! It will also be of value to those who formulate and supply mixtures.
You’ll get the most from the day if you have a working knowledge of safety data sheets and health, safety and environmental compliance.
However, if you’re not fully up to speed don’t worry – we can adapt the programme to cover this or run a separate introductory day.
This one-day course will deal with the following key issues:
✓ Understand what exposure scenarios contain and why
✓ Learn how to interpret a supplier’s exposure scenario and pass on information to your customers
✓ Explore ways to demonstrate safe use where your conditions of use differ from the supplier’s exposure scenario
✓ Recognise and implement appropriate risk management measures to protect your workers and the environment

Ideal training for Dwonstream Users. If you use a chemical substance, either on its own or in a preparation, in the course of your business activities you are a downstream user under EU/GB REACH.
