CRD Events for 2011/12
The Chemicals Regulation Directorate (CRD) is pleased to announce the Conference and Events programme for 2011/2012.
We have tried to expand the programme to meet the needs of our stakeholders using suggestions received from previous events' feedback forms.
CRD is committed to communicating effectively with our stakeholders. One of the ways in which CRD is able to keep stakeholders up to date is through our Conference and Events programme. During the next year CRD 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 the forthcoming year is below. Please note that the date of each event has been provided as an indication - the exact date will be confirmed soon. If you are interested in attending any of the events, or require further information, please email our Events Team at events@hse.gsi.gov.uk. You will then be placed on a waiting list and informed when the details of the event are finalised. Please note that registering your interest does not commit you to attending the event. We are also interested to hear any feedback you may have on the proposed programme.

Bespoke Training for Individual Organisations
In addition to organising 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 CRD's 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
- Ecotoxicology
- Consumer Risk Assessment & Residues
- Operator Exposure
- Biological Assessment Dossier (BAD)
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.gsi.gov.uk or by calling + 44 (0) 1904 455748.
In accordance with our financial remit, CRD 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.
