CLP Training
1 January 2025

Learn at your own pace with our dedicated CLP Training carried out on our behalf by Chemical Legislation Professionals Ltd. CLP is an intensive and complex subject that really does require more than 2 days to learn so, in conjunction with Chemical Legislation Professionals Ltd (who presented our previous 2-Day CLP Training Courses), a new format has been designed, breaking the subject down into modules and is available on a flexible 'e-learning' basis so that individuals can learn at their own pace. This new format permanently replaces our previous 2-Day CLP Training courses and is available to all CBA members at a discounted rate

Human Reliability Analysis
28 April 2025
Online / Crewe
Have you made your operator tasks as safe as possible? Can you demonstrate that?
The competent authority expects major accident hazard sites to take all measures necessary to prevent and mitigate the consequences of major accidents.
This includes Human Factors, and applies to warehousing, distribution, blending, etc, at upper and lower tier COMAH sites.
Human Reliability Analysis (HRA) is a qualitative approach used to identify potential human failures that may occur when a task is undertaken, identify and categorise the types of human failure, the consequences of those failures, and develop actions to reduce the likelihood and/ or mitigate the consequences of a failure.
This course will introduce the concepts and methodology of an HRA as it is applied to safety critical tasks – those tasks associated with a site’s major accident hazard where any error in the execution of the task may potentially result in a major accident hazard.
By the end of the course, candidates will be able to undertake simple HRAs, or to usefully contribute to more complex HRAs led by a Human Factors practitioner, and be an intelligent customer of Human Factors services.
The course will be delivered in the context of chemical businesses, drawing on relevant case studies and industry specific experience.

DGSA 2- Day Refresher June 2025
2 June 2025
to 3 June 2025
Crewe / Online
The five-year gap between DGSA requalification’s and the fact that most people only use very specific provisions on a day-to-day basis often means that candidates are less prepared than they would like.
To aid those considering requalification, the Chemical Business Association has designed a two-day workshop to update and refresh all aspects of the ADR chapters and provide specific exam guidance and question practice.
The exam is an ‘open book’ format and so all the information necessary is at the candidate’s fingertips. However, candidates also need to understand ‘how to apply the knowledge’, ‘what the markers will be looking for’ and ‘how to reference the answers’

Behavioural Safety
6 June 2025
Online / Crewe
The workshop provides a practical insight into aspects of Behavioural Safety including:
The different types of human failure. Against each type, the reasons for them are explained along with appropriate countermeasures and steps to reduce the probability of failure in the future. From this, a company can identify the types of issues they are experiencing and develop relevant action plans to address.
Safety cultures and how to improve them. We will discuss blame, no blame and just cultures, what they are, how they arise and the approaches used to develop your business culture in the direction you wish to take it.
Tools and techniques typically used in the implementation of a Behavioural Safety programme
The course is delivered in the context of the process industries, including COMAH sites.
