Risk Flyer frontFor its 2019 annual conference, taking place on 12 June at Austin Court in Birmingham, the IOR has decided to focus on refrigerant safety and risk assessment requirements. The conference will be a complete evaluation of the risk assessment process with a programme designed to leave delegates with a deeper understanding of their legal responsibility, accountability and compliance requirements with regulations and procedures should an incident occur.

The conference will begin with a keynote paper from Maurice Young of Maurice Young Consulting outlining why risk assessments are needed. This will be followed by six different papers explaining how, if risk is not assessed at each stage, it can lead to deadly outcomes but, if managed properly, it will protect both people and business.

The audience will be drawn from all sectors of the RACHP industry, including designers, installers, end users, operators, retailers and contractors. Over 100 people are expected to attend the conference and the programme is designed to allow maximum input from delegates with chaired question panels and networking breaks.

This is a highly topical issue and places are going fast, so visit ior.org.uk/events to secure your place today. Please note that the IOR is currently running an early bird rate of £85 plus VAT available to members only until 18th May.
