PFAS are a class of synthetic chemicals used since the 1940s that are fast becoming an issue on many development sites – particularly brownfield – across the UK.
These ‘forever chemicals’ are a major concern due to their serious risk to human health.
For construction and demolition companies, they are an additional contaminant to deal with as they fall within the scope of the EA’s environmental permitting regime.
While PFAS creates risk to construction projects, there are ways to mitigate against them. This workshop will cover…
Delivered by Duncan Sanders, who is the PFAS lead within ATG Group along with a ‘PFAS Geological Expert’.
They will help you gain a clearer understanding of the nature of the problem and what options are available to you if PFAS are discovered on your sites.

Are you prepared and ready to navigate a crisis?
There are many critically important decisions that have to be made in the days and hours that follow a serious health & safety incident. The investigation can be very difficult to manage, particularly if you haven’t prepared in advance.
We see the same mistakes being made that often create unnecessary legal and reputational risks for organisations and the individuals within it.
Knowing what to do in those early stages helps you to make better, informed decisions. The wrong decisions can affect the direction of the investigation and can increase the potential for enforcement action.
Our Mock Investigation – ‘Navigating a Crisis’ Event is a practical session centered around an evolving scenario.
Step by step we take you through an investigation that has not gone well, and we show you why so many problems occurred and how they could have been avoided.
The webinar will will cover the following topics:
The Final Hearing – We take ourselves to Court and listen to the Judge’s sentencing remarks about this case.
The day of the incident – We consider the decisions made as the early investigation unfolds.
Police and HSE powers – How do you deal with requests for information from the Police and HSE.
Offences for companies and individuals – We consider what offences may apply, who might be at risk and what the penalty may be.
Legal Privilege – How to protect your investigation report.
PACE Interviews – What to do if you are invited to an interview under caution.
Avoiding Prosecutions – Practical tips that will help your case.
The Outcome – We consider the potential penalties for our defendants.
This Webinar is essential for:
Those required to make decisions or oversee investigations, following serious health & safety incidents.
Directors, Managers, Supervisors and Team Leaders – those who may be first at the scene.
Teams undertaking the work.
This interactive session will highlight that, by not getting the H&S basics right, e.g. failing to document checks, a prosecution can be difficult to defend.
