Training Description
REACH is the acronym for the new European Union regulation covering the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals.
After the initial phase of REACH registrations in 2010 and 2013, many lessons have been learned and dossier needed extensive changes or improvement following evaluation by ECHA. However, for many registrants, the 2018 deadline for substances manufactured or imported in the range 1 – 100 was their first experience with registration under REACH and as these start to be fully checked and reviewed, more work will be needed.
The industry needed to rely extensively on consultants and consortia to prepare the original submissions, but it is essential for all registrants to understand the requirements as they will be liable for maintaining and amending their dossiers either on their own or collectively with other Joint Registrants.

Get to know the Expert Trainer
Mark Selby has worked in the area of regulatory science for over 20 years, starting with a UK-based speciality chemical manufacturer at the time that the EINECS list was closing. This background in industry provided a valuable insight into the problems facing manufacturing organisations with limited resources and tight schedules, but which needed to keep up with legislation.
Work surrounding chemical supply legislation and other regulatory testing led to contact with a multi-national Contract Research Organisation working mainly for the pharmaceutical industry and Mark was employed by them in 1989 to set up a consulting service to cover chemical supply legislation. Work also included providing advice to colleagues to ensure that regulatory testing for chemical supply was performed effectively and that laboratory staff had access to the correct equipment and test guidelines. Working now as an independent consultant, trading as Denehurst Chemical Safety Ltd, Mark advises industry on the use of data for classification and labelling, the testing of chemical products and submission processes in support of EU chemical supply legislation. This includes a substantial amount of writing and training work, including lecturing for all levels of industry which aims to link the regulatory constraints with practical solutions for producers and users of chemical products.
As well as a trainer for the CHCS (http://www.chcs.org.uk) and for the ETCIC REACH training at Hull University (http://www.etcic.com), Mark works with REACHReady (http://www.reachready.co.uk) as one of their advisors and trainers. Mark has also been involved with the European Commission funded ‘Twinning’ projects helping new EU Member States.
Recent work has included training and support for European Competent Authorities and ECHA foundation courses to help scientific and regulatory training of personnel working in various agencies.

FAQ
The client has the right to cancel his/her registration in the event.
There is a 50% liability on all conference registrations once made, whether the booking was made through our website or via e–mail/ telephone/ fax.
If the client cancels with more than 8 weeks’s advance notice, GLC shall be entitled to an amount equivalent to 50% of the conference fee and 16 EUR administration charge. In case the client has already made his/her payment, this will be deducted from the conference fee GLC has already received and the remainder will be refunded. If no conference fee has been received prior to the cancellation request, GLC will issue an invoice for the cancellation fee (the amount equivalent to 50% of the conference fee and 16 EUR administration charge), which the client must pay immediately upon receipt. No refunds are available for cancellations received with 8 week’s (or less) advance notice or in case the client fails to attend the conference. In these cases, the full amount of the conference fee must be paid.
- Get the timing right.
Many people are afraid to request for training budget, because they can’t seem to find the “perfect time” to do it. Well, there’s no perfect time to ask for it, but there are definitely some moments that are better than others. For instance, if your boss is about to take a two week vacation, he/she might be in a good mood. If he/she just lost a major account, may not be wise at that juncture. - Make a case for yourself
When you ask for budget, you should be prepared with specific details and explanations about what is in it for the company and you’re superior. If you go into a meeting and just say, “I want to get budget for a conference,” it’s likely that your request won’t be taken seriously. If you want to plan ahead, then you should be prepared to explain the following points:
1. Start by stating your accomplishments
2. Show that you’re ready for more responsibility and eager to learn
3. Describe:
a) How this event will increase your productivity?
b) How you will need less supervision
c) How you can bring back the knowledge to the company
4. Follow up
