Things heat up at lectures

The asecos experimental lecture on
‘risks and protective measures in
handling hazardous substances’
demonstrates explosions and
chemical reactions that can happen in
day-to-day work. Even the handling
of smallest amounts of flammable
liquids can cause devastating
consequences. And, according to
asecos, the potential risk increases
with experienced staff used to daily
work with hazardous materials since
people tend to take for granted things
that they do or see often.

In collaboration with DSC, asecos,
the German manufacturer of safety
storage cabinets, offers an informative
lecture including live experiments.

The goal is to raise the participants’
awareness and perception of
hazardous materials.

Held at customer sites, the
DSC/asecos DSEAR lecture is said to
be informative, lively and
entertaining. It covers UK legislation,
giving examples of legal requirements
and prosecutions. The chemistry style
experiments clearly demonstrate what
can go wrong when storage and
handling is not taken seriously.
