Book Course HSL is to run a 1 Day course on COMAH Onshore Major Hazards: New knowledge on flammable hazards. 14 July 2016 This course deals with important flammable risks at Major Hazards sites for which new knowledge or guidance has become available recently. It complements the general course ‘COMAH onshore major hazards: predictive aspects of COMAH’. The specific risks dealt with include: Assessment of vapour cloud accumulation at very low wind speeds (overfill and spray releases). These conditions account for a very high proportion of major incidents involving flammables. Explosion modelling for large low-lying vapour clouds Assessment of risks for packaged chemical storage: drum and IBC stores and warehouses. Carry out vapour cloud dispersion modelling in very low or nil wind conditions. They will use methods described in FABIG Technical Note 12 and learn how to extend the scope of this guidance to sites with slopes. Carry out explosion analyses for large low-lying clouds Carry out simple assessments of the potential effects of chemical warehouse fires Advise on controlling the risks from IBC fires.

CITB and Build UK are joining forces for a week of exclusive, behind-the-scenes events at some of the best building sites in Scarborough. Open Doors gives access to dozens of construction projects to inspire people to choose a career in construction and take the next steps to progress into the industry. From future architects, bricklayers and civil engineers to front-of-house sales managers, visitors of all ages and skill sets can get on site at Open Doors events between Monday 13 and Saturday 18 June. Projects that will be opening their doors in the Scarborough area include: People interested in getting on site can book at opendoors.construction. Once on site, visitors will find out exactly what it takes to create the iconic buildings of the future. They will then be encouraged to find out more about construction at the industry’s careers website – Go Construct. Suzannah Nichol, Build UK Chief Executive, said: “The construction industry is in a war for talent so we are delighted to be running Open Doors in partnership with CITB. It’s an exciting chance for anyone seeking a future career, a new challenge, or a change of direction to see first-hand what construction has to offer. We look forward to welcoming people of all ages onto our member sites in June.” Lorraine Gregory, CITB Partnerships Manager, said: “Over 230,000 new construction jobs will be created across Britain by 2020 and this is a great way to showcase some of them. Potential new entrants will get an exclusive opportunity to see first-hand what it’s like to work in the industry and what a rewarding career construction can be. “Open Doors is an excellent way of inspiring people to consider a career in construction. And it’s a key part of how CITB is supporting the construction industry through Go Construct.” Willmott Dixon is opening three sites in Scarborough. Rick Willmott, Willmott Dixon Group Chief Executive, commented: “We’re opening up a record number of sites for this year’s Open Doors, to give people an eye-opening insight into the construction industry. “It’s not every day you get to look around large construction sites and through Open Doors, we want to inspire people about the benefits of a career in construction. So come and see what happens behind the hoardings and let us show you what a rewarding career the construction industry can offer.” To find out more about Open Doors 2016 and book a visit a site, please go to: www.opendoors.construction.

China’s “One Belt, One Road” project aims to make central Asia more connected to the world, yet even before the initiative was formally announced China had helped to redraw the energy map of the region. It had built an oil pipeline from Kazakhstan, a gas pipeline that allowed Turkmenistan to break its dependence on dealings with Russia and another pipeline that has increased the flow of Russian oil to China. Chinese companies have funded and built roads, bridges and tunnels across the region. A ribbon of fresh projects, such as the Khorgos “dry port” on the Kazakh-Chinese border and a railway link connecting Kazakhstan with Iran, is helping increase trade across central Asia. The map below shows how the transport and energy projects link across the region. Copyright The Financial Times Limited 2016. You may share using our article tools.
