The SIA is currently in the process of re-shooting footage in preparation for the re-release of the safety film, ‘Safe Handling of Solvents’ and has recently commenced filming at two of their Members’ sites in the UK and Belgium.
First released in 2006, the objective of this new SIA project is to produce an updated version of the existing film to incorporate changes to procedures, legislation and labelling.
SIA General Secretary, Andrew Norman said, ‘Although the majority of the film remains very relevant, we have recognised that a number of aspects are in need of an update. The film is integral to the SIA training programme and the revised production will offer more accurate guidance for our delegates and solvents end-users’.
Shot on location over several days at a refinery site in Harwich, UK, and a storage and distribution centre in Antwerp, Belgium, it is anticipated that the final production will be released in early 2019.
