'Turbo Talks' seminar
18 April, 1.00 - 2.00pm Join us for a free seminar to celebrate the publication of HSEs 2024 Annual Science Review Our series of 5 minute 'Turbo Talks' feature HSE scientists talking about the ways our science and evidence is being used to help everyone lead safer and healthier lives. This years focus is on the role played by our scientist and engineers in delivering forensic incident investigation activities and providing expert evidence used by courts to secure justice. Topics include: - maintaining GBs record as one of the safest countries to work in:
- development of an animation to support a prosecution following a fatality at a cardboard recycling company
- investigation into multiple fatalities following a wall collapse in a metal recycling plant
- sharing knowledge on investigating incidents
- enabling industry to innovate safely in the move to net zero: Population density analysis for carbon dioxide pipeline routing
- reducing work-related ill health: Evaluation of exposure controls used in electrolytic nickel plating
- increasing and maintaining trust to ensure people feel safe where they live, where they work and in their environment: Monitoring the health of registered pesticide workers and putting residents at the heart of the new Building Safety Regulator

Isocyanates are widely used in industry, particularly in spray painting, adhesives, and polyurethane resin production.
This report describes research to evaluate the suitability of potential alternative monitoring methods and will be of interest to technical specialists undertaking isocyanate sampling and/or analysis.
