SIA Launch Solvents & Static Electricity DVD

 

The Solvents Industry Association are proud to announce the launch of the Solvents & Static Electricity DVD.  The SIA has joined forces once again with the European Solvents Industry Group, ESIG, to produce a film that provides a simple guide on how to cope with the hazards of static electricity in the workplace to ensure the safe handling of solvents.

 

This DVD is aimed at all levels within organisations, and is particularly aimed at end-users who may not have access to expert advice through their own Health & Safety departments.

 

It deals with the sources and potential consequences of static electricity; good operating practice to minimise static electricity charge build-up; effective earthing and bonding – its installation, use and testing and the technical support, codes of practice and legislation available.

 

Important safety messages are repeated throughout the disc for various levels of use of solvents from ships, railcars and bulk tankers to bottles and cans via drums and IBCs. At all times the film directs operators in the workplace to information available in a well regulated solvents industry to help them control and manage static electricity build-up and to minimise risk.

 

This is part of the SIA´s and ESIG´s continuing work programme to promote best practice in the solvents industry, to improve health and safety performance and to minimise any potential environmental impact.

 

The DVD is available free of charge from both the SIA & ESIG.
