This webinar, hosted by the CIA, will be presented by Elaine Skilling - HM Principal Specialist Inspector (Human Factors Engineering) of the CEMHD division of the HSE. It follows the well-attended webinar held in July 2025 on HF for COMAH sites. This time Elaine will discuss the topic of 'COMAH Critical Communications' from the HSE's Human Factors COMAH Delivery Guide. The webinar is aimed primarily at those operating COMAH sites but may also be of interest to non-COMAH operators. The topics covered will include shift handovers and permit to work systems. For those registered for the event, there will be the opportunity to submit questions on these topics ahead of the event, which Elaine will address in her presentation.

The conference is aimed at all companies involved in the manufacture, use or supply of Hydrofluoric Acid including chemical, engineering, and oil refining businesses. The programme developed by CIA’s HF Sector Network is specifically intended to be of direct benefit to managers, SHE departments, engineers, supervisors, operators, laboratory staff and medical/nursing staff – and also to suppliers of equipment and services for HF users. If you work with HF, this conference is a ‘must’ for the latest information and an essential part of managing HF safely and protecting people.
