About this presentation
Addressing chemicals regulations such as REACH, CLP, biocides and plant protection products (pesticides), this presentation will examine the current approach taken by regulatory authorities to enforcement in the UK. It will consider what is working well and what could be improved (and how) in the post-Brexit landscape, as well as the challenges facing regulatory authorities and industry.
The presentation will consider issues such as online sales, imports, deregulation, resourcing, prioritisation and collaborative working, delivered by a speaker who has been at the heart of UK chemicals regulations enforcement for over a decade.
