Do YOU and your BOSS actually know if your Boilerhouse and Steam Systems are safe?

We see lots of dangerous incidents that should be reported under RIDDOR which could have led to serious accidents and potential fatalities.

Please remember, Its not the contractor who is responsible it's You.

Guidance document BG04 for boiler water treatment clearly states that 95% of all boiler related incidents and accidents are as a result of bad management of boiler water treatment.

This is not a course for Chemists or water hygiene people, it’s for the people looking after boiler plants. Read more you don't have to be BOAS accredited to attend this course.

If you are BOAS accredited you will know that BOAS only touches on Steam Boiler Water Testing (SBWT) during the course.

Therefore the conferences’ main aim is to provide a practical, jargon-free opportunity to those starting out on the digital transformation process, to experience a complete smart roadmap, highlighting the incremental stages of the 4IR journey covering all aspect of the digital transformation.

Aimed at the drivers of UK manufacturing SME’s, each Smart Industry Conference will uniquely focus on sector specific issues in Food & Drink; Automotive; and Aerospace sectors.

Speakers with practical experience of introducing a digitalisation strategy will provide a fascinating and clear-cut insight into the issues facing our industry now, using real life case study examples.
