Health, Safety & Environmental Management in Cement Manufacturing Course

Suitable to all in the cement industry looking to enhance their skills on key issues surrounding health, safety and environmental management in cement manufacturing.

This course also compliments the Cement Manufacturing Technology Course and is run alongside for students wishing to gain a broader induction to the cement industry.

Course Content

Module 1 explores why health, safety and environmental management is important in the cement manufacturing industry, and why the topics are often grouped together. The legislative framework covering occupational health, safety and environmental impact in industry generally. Also the management systems that are applied to control and mitigate against threats to health, safety and the environment.

Module 2 provides an in-depth assessment of health and safety management focusing on the cement manufacturing industry. The particular health and safety issues faced by the cement industry, hazard identification, risk assessment, risk management and risk communication. Specific considerations relating to mines and quarries, crushers, mills, kilns and cement packing plants, including the design of a cement factory to minimise risks to health and safety. Finally health and safety performance monitoring, development and management planning.

Module 3 provides an in-depth assessment of the specific environmental issues faced by the cement manufacturing industry, including considerations relating to emissions to air, water and ground, visual impact and noise emissions. Also the design of a cement factory to manage, control and mitigate these environmental impacts, and finally environmental performance monitoring, development and management planning.

Module 4 provides a conclusion to the course, looking at organisation for health, safety and environmental management in the cement industry, continuous performance improvement and a discussion of the likely progression of these topics for the cement industry in the future.
