8023 EPC-UK, a major company in the field of commercial explosives for industries including quarrying and mining, will once again be hosting its biannual Best Practice Seminars, providing the extractives industry with an important Continuing Professional Development (CPD) opportunity.

The seminars have been specifically designed to deliver an informative, industry-leading programme of interactive presentations, which will be an invaluable source of knowledge for all who work in the sector.  

Each seminar will contribute to the CPD programme, a process which recognises professionalism through lifelong learning and ensures employees skills are kept relevant and up-to-date.  All attendees will receive a certificate of recognition upon completion of the seminar.  

Renowned for its commitment to the continued investment in training industry professionals, Ian Davies, general manager at EPC-UK, explains why the company continues to offer these free sessions. “In our ever-changing industry, ongoing training and the sharing of knowledge is imperative.  Our seminars not only help to disseminate this information, but also enable attendees to attain the accreditations needed for their own personal career progression.”

The seminars will cover a variety of topics including Mental Health and Safety; QNJAC Update; Digital Drilling and Blasting; Common Errors in Profiling; Management of Change; Shotfiring Rules; Misfire Investigation Process; Shock Research and Development; and Geophone Mounting Techniques.  Each seminar will also play host to a guest speaker, as well as giving delegates the valuable opportunity to network with their peers and share best practice.

The seminars will be held at the following locations across Britain throughout May and June:
•             Thursday 9th May – Westerwood Hotel, Cumbernauld, Scotland
•             Wednesday 22nd May – The Nottingham Belfry, Nottinghamshire
•             Wednesday 5th June – Low Wood Bay Hotel, Ambleside, Cumbria
•             Tuesday 11th June – Coldra Court Hotel, Newport, Wales
•             Tuesday 25th June – Bedruthan Hotel and Spa, Mawgan Porth, Cornwall

Davies continues: “This programme of seminars has been devised for anyone who works within the extractives industry, from senior managers to operators at the rock face and is our way of contributing towards improving competency within our industry.”
