Plant Protection Products and Biocides Training and Events
HSE's Chemicals Regulation Division (CRD) is pleased to announce
its plant protection products and biocides conference and events
programme for 2019/2020. This year we have expanded the programme
to take account of stakeholder feedback obtained from the 2018/19
events programme.
We
are committed to communicating effectively with our stakeholders.
One of the ways in which we are able to keep our stakeholders up to
date is through the delivery of our conference and events
programme. During 2019/20, we will be hosting a wide range of
events which are aimed at providing training and updates on many
aspects of pesticide, biocide, and chemical regulation.
Our proposed schedule of events for 2019/20 is listed below.
If you are interested in attending any of the events or require
further information please email our events team at events.CRD@hse.gov.uk

Bespoke Training for Individual Organisations
In addition to running our general training programme, CRD also
offers bespoke training for individual organisations on both
technical and procedural matters. The main benefit to the delivery
of bespoke training is that the training is specifically tailored
to meet your organisation's individual needs and enables you to
address specific problem areas that are relevant to your
organisation. This training can be delivered at our offices in
York, or at a location of your choice.
CRD has previously organised the following bespoke training
events for various organisations and Member States:
- Co-ordination & Procedures
- Physical/Chemical Properties
- Fate & Behaviour
- Consumer Risk Assessment & Residues
- Operator Exposure
- Dermal Absorption
If you would be interested in discussing the possibility of CRD
providing your organisation with a tailor-made training programme,
or if you would simply like us to deliver an existing training
programme at your office, please contact Jon Winfield by emailing
jon.winfield@hse.gov.uk.
In accordance with our financial remit, HSE has to recover costs
for the work it delivers. Consequently, a charge would have to be
made for the preparation and delivery of the training, and any
associated travel and subsistence costs.
Please note that CRD will not be able to provide advice on
specific application work as part of the bespoke service. Such
queries should be dealt with in the usual manner.
